123441 - Compose without log in gives SUBSCRIBE failed on Sent folder

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 96932

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Chris Andrichak]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

if you compose a mail and send it, and you prefs are set to copy the
mail to a server-based IMAP folder, the UI asks you for your password. But 
then the mailnews engine logs you in and seems to try to
re-subscribe you to your 'Sent' folder, which fails, and throws up 
a dialog to that effect, and the compose progress bar doesn't go away,
you have to cancel it. And then you have to manually close the
compose window, and say 'yes' to throw away the changes. As far as
I can tell, the mail is never actually copied into your 'Sent'
folder. I don't know if this happens with other folder names other
than 'Sent'.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start mozilla
2.open up browser component - don't start mailnews
3.compose and send a mail
4.see that it sends, and tries to copy (APPEND in IMAP parlance)
  to your 'Sent' folder
5.It fails because you're already SUBSCRIBE'd to that folder

Expected Results:  It should not try to re-subscribe, and should just do the
APPEND and finish the job.

Reporter,
You are using an older build. Try with a latest build. Also do you have SSL
checked in the pref.  Which imap server is this?

still happens on .98 - seems to depend on having an IMAP server directory set -
since this is a UW imap server, it needs a base directory so I don't get
file listings from my home dir.

If i try same thing against a different imap server that doesn't have a base
directory set, i don't get this problem. It APPENDs the mail no problem after
i give it password.


server is relatively current:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS AUTH=LOGIN] host IMAP4rev1

mail server prefs are not set for SSL. Show only subscribed is set, and server
supports folders with messages and subfolders is unchecked.

Sounds like bug 90064, where Christopher Blizzard has a reproducible case for
the subscription failing that's very similar to the reporter's.
