Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Courier IMAP has recently impelented ACL based shared folders.
These are under their own namespace. 

The Namespace command returns this for shared folders is 'shared.' and '#shared.' 
Mozilla mail (1.6)(win32) currently does the following queries when searching
for available imap folders :-

16 lsub "" "#shared.*"
17 list "" "#shared.%"
18 list "" "#shared.%\"%"
19 lsub "" "shared.*"
17 list "" "shared.%"
18 list "" "shared.%.%"

I beleive that query line 18 should really read -
18 list "" "#shared.%.%"

Until this is fixed, Mozilla mail and Thunderbird, won't be able to pick up the
ACL based shared folders within courier-imap 2.2.2 with ACL support.

I have only tested the win32 implimentation of Mozilla mail, but the developer
of courier-imap, assures me that mozilla mail 1.4 for linux works as above the
the change for line 18 included.( as in the #shared.%.% )
You could also use #shared.*  which works as well.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup account on courier-imap 2.2.2 
2. setup ACL shared folder(s) on courier-imap
3. create account in mozilla mail or thunderbird (win32)
4. Subscribe to folders. 


Actual Results:  
The acl based shared unsubscribed folders don't show up

Expected Results:  
show the folders
