227766 - since 1.5.0, "IMAP server directory" incorrectly prepended to IMAP namespace values

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Randall J. Parr]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031009
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031009

Upon updating from Mozilla 1.4.x to Mozilla 1.5.0 public IMAP folders became
invisile and/or unsubscribable. The bevhaviour was confirmed accross several Red
Hat 8/9, SuSE 9, and W2K systems.

The problem appears to be that the "IMAP server directory" value is incorrectly
prepended to the IMAP namespace values as well.

In a fresh, new account, with "IMAP server directory" value blank, the public
IMAP folders are visible/subscribable. Upon setting the "IMAP server directory"
the public IMAP folders disappear and/or become unsubscribable.

To further diagnose, per
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/mail-troubleshoot.html#imap, IMAP
logging was turned on:

export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:5
export NSPR_LOG_FILE=/home/.../tmp/nspr.log

Upon starting Mozilla Mail the voluminous log output contains line like:

98310[90cbe98]: 90c33d8:mail.temporalarts.com:A:SendData: 15 list ""
"mail/#shared/%"
98310[90cbe98]: ReadNextLine [stream=90eb738 nb=0 needmore=1]
98310[90cbe98]: ReadNextLine [stream=90eb738 nb=22 needmore=0]
98310[90cbe98]: 90c33d8:mail.temporalarts.com:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 15 OK
LIST completed
98310[90cbe98]: 90c33d8:mail.temporalarts.com:A:SendData: 16 list ""
"mail/#shared/%/%"
98310[90cbe98]: ReadNextLine [stream=90eb738 nb=0 needmore=1]

running the same thing agains older versions of Mozilla indicates the IMAP
server directory should NOT be prepended to the namespaces.

Please try a 1.6 build. I believe this has been fixed in 1.6a/b.
