21064 - fix nsImapMailFolder::GetCanCreateSubfolders to allow me to create subfolders for the inbox on a cyrus server

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

if you bring up the folder picker in the new folder dialog, you'll notice the
inbox for an imap server is disabled.

this is because the code looks like this:

NS_IMETHODIMP
nsImapMailFolder::GetCanCreateSubfolders(PRBool *aResult)
{
  NS_ENSURE_ARG_POINTER(aResult);
  // if it's the Inbox, then you can't create a subfolder.
  // yes, I know this isn't true for all IMAP servers, but it works for now
  *aResult = !(mFlags & MSG_FOLDER_FLAG_INBOX);
  return NS_OK;
}

I need to fix this, as some servers (Cyrus) support subfolders on the inbox.

Seth, just FYI - there was a bug#20535 relate to Cyrus Inbox information which I
have tested/investigated for that before.
Even 20535 is dup of the bug#19229.
But see the comments of bug#20535 between David & me may helpful for your
coding.

well, it's dog food for cyrus people, but not for us internally (yet.)

marking m14, accepting.

I'll take this - I need it to work to do some testing on cyrus servers, and I
figured out what the prefs are.
