117917 - Cyrus IMAP: Mozilla ignores IMAP namespace

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27002

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect, P5)

Description

[Kristof Petr]

Mozilla 0.9.5 works fine.
Versions 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 are broken.

Mozilla ignores NAMESPACE provided by IMAP server
and try to store messages on server with bad path.

Cyrus imapd server 2.0.16 announces Personal NAMESPACE
to "INBOX." and mozilla stores copy of sent mail to
"Sent" mailbox, what is wrong. It should be "INBOX.Sent"

Server info:

Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK localhost.localdomain Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.16 server ready
001 login user password
001 OK User logged in
001 NAMESPACE
* NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".")) (("user." ".")) (("" "."))
001 OK Completed
001 LOGOUT
* BYE LOGOUT received
001 OK Completed


and Mozilla tries to save Draft message:
001 LIST "" "Drafts"
001 OK Completed (0.000 secs 1 calls)
001 CREATE "Drafts"
001 NO Permission denied

It fails, becouse mozilla operate out of personal namespace.

Tested with 0.9.5 again. Bad. It seems no one version of mozilla
works correctly with current versions of Cyrus IMAPD.

I did setup test site with cyrus imapd 2.0.16 for imaps
access. Contact me for account.

I confirm this annoying bug.
Tested with different mozilla builds : 2002020118 On W2K, Mozilla 0.98 on Linux
The courier-imap serveur has personal namespace to INBOX., shared namespace to
shared.
The namespaces gets loaded by Mozilla and show up in advanced account server
settings.
But the namespaces are not used by Mozilla-mail as they should
When Mozilla tryes to acces root folders it can't because of the unused
namespace. You have to trick in the settings (copy and folders) specify Sent,
Drafts, Templates as subfolders of INBOX.
The same coveat apply to shared folders as well and Mozilla show unnessary
nesting like
INBOX
  Sent
  Drafts
  Templaes
shared (display gray)
  Mysharearea (display gray)
    Mysharedfolder (display black)

Namespace should be taken as so Mozilla remap root folders according to the
namespace returned by the server as :
INBOX
Sent
Drafts
Templates
Mysharearea (display gray)
  Mysharefolder (display black)


Requested change to this bug report :
New keywords:
interop,  mail3, mozilla0.9.8+, relnote
Platform: all
OS: all
rep_platform: all

Mozilla works fine IMHO again WU-imapd only. Is there any sane people
what uses this "software"?

I think this is pretty important problem. No one Mozilla developer
check this bugreport. Huang, can you reassign it to different person, please?

Thank Petr
