202623 - mozilla can't subscribe to existing imap folders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 202622

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jan Banan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

When I try to subscribe to existing imap folders I get:
"The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Cannot
subscribe to this folder.."
My imap server is courier-imap 1.7.0 (http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/)
It works to subscribe to existing folders from other mail clients like SquirrelMail.
Strange is that I can see the folder when I choose "Subscribe", but when I mark
its box and presses "OK" I get the above error message.
So now I can't manage folders that already exists (e g when created from other
mail clients). Even if I restart Mozilla its the same.
This has been like this for mane versions of Mozilla (I guess it has never
worked) and it does still not work in Mozilla 1.3 (dled from mozilla.org).
Only way to manage existing folders:
1. delete and recreate the folder or
2. delete the mail profile and create it from scratch

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See above.
Actual Results:  
When I try to subscribe to existing imap folders I get:
"The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Cannot
subscribe to this folder.."

Expected Results:  
Subscribed to the folder so I can manage it.
