24667 - Handle default folders on Cyrus IMAP server

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P3)

Description

[Richard Zach]

This is carried over from 23442:

Cyrus-type IMAP servers have the additional folders in a user's account be
subfolders of INBOX.  Mozilla should recognize when a server is Cyrus and
accordingly set the default folders (especially Trash) to be
imap://user@host/INBOX.Trash and not imap://user@host/Trash.

Reassign to jefft, cc bienvenu. I think IMAP interop bugs are B1 stoppers, so
I'm marking M14 and adding the beta1 keyword.

this subsumes 23588, I guess. In other words, fixing this will fix 23588.

Yes. I think this is dup of bug#23588. 
And I remember that there were bug#20535 & bug#19229 already handled the default 
folders on Cyrus IMAP server, isn't it?

I take my words back. This bug is not dup. of bug#23588.
Bug#20535 & bug#19229 only handled the general subfolders, but not the default 
folders. Attached the Cyrus IMAP log as following...

I have a fix for bug 24667, bug 22349, bug 23588, & bug 24715. I'll check in 
once I got a review. To test you need to remove the following namespace entries 
for your Cyrus server:

user_pref("mail.server.server5.namespace.other_users", "");
user_pref("mail.server.server5.namespace.public", "");

and add/modify the following entry:

user_pref("mail.server.server5.namespace.personal", "Inbox.");

Unfortunately, we don't have UI for it now.

Jeff, since there was bug#26902...I am wondering know whether there was 

workaround for verifying this bug on Mac? I attached the "prefs.js" file of this 

new cyrus profile from Mac. Can you take a look and let me know any workaround?

The only thing you need to do is to add the following pref in your Mac's 
prefs.js

user_pref("mail.server.server1.namespace.personal", "\"Inbox.\"");

Pass by retesting on Mac 02-07-08-M14 mozilla build 
w/NEW PROFILE & existing draft/template folders 
w/added personal namespace on prefs.js only:
Marking as verified!!
P.S.There was bug#27002 logged for IMAP Cyrus migration problems for default
folders.
