26557 - FreeBSD 3.4, which is IMAP4rev1: mailreader does not support UW IMAP-subfolders

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[malte]

Folders do not appear correctly in mailreader. All folders for subfolders are 
shown as empty folders (no name displayed), and all subfolders appear as 
folders, but are not accessible. Expected behaviour would be like in NS4.x.

Do you know what kind of imap server you are using?
What version of mozilla were you using (M13, M14, a nighlty build)?

Thanks.

I am using the imapd that comes with FreeBSD 3.4, which is IMAP4rev1 (RFC 
2060). The mozilla Version is M13 (Mozilla Seamonkey alpha).

Perhaps you can generate an IMAP log.  See 
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/tests/sea-mn-imap-interop.html#logging

Yes. malte, setup the IMAP log file as above and attached that logfile to this 
bug will be helpful for us to know what kind of the IMAP server that you have!

Seems to be a problem with the complete path information given by the imap 
server. Mozilla has a problem to handle this properly in visualization, but not 
in the data transfer (original log). When changed the folder-info given by the 
imapd to relative folders, and removed the empty folders, (modified log) folders 
appear like they should do. I added a dependency to 20878 (imap root folder 
support).

Thanks for the update. Adding UW on the summary for specifying UW IMAP problem.

I tested again with the latest nightly build (2000032108), and folder still
don't appear as they should. All folders are accessible now, but all are shown
in the root-folder, not as a tree-view. Root folder is set to: mail/

Original tree:
/home/malte/mail/Inbox
                 folder/sub1
                 folder/sub2

Tree in Mozilla:
Inbox
folder (causes crash, when chosen)
sub1 (working)
sub2 (working)

Tree in Mozilla after restart (!):
Inbox
_home_malte_mail_folder
_home_malte_mail_folder_sub1
_home_malte_mail_folder_sub2

After logging in, these _-folders disappear, and the flat listing of all folders
comes again.

Marking M16, please adjust if this isn't a beta2 stopper.

Not M16 stopper, marking M17.  Please add beta2 keyword if you think this is a 
beta2 stopper.

nsbeta2+. Would like to have these interop issues fixed. Is this the same as bug
28181?

Comment 14

[Karen Huang]

I am thinking they are the same bug!! 

Comment 15

[jefft]

Fix checked in for bug 20878 should also fix this one. Please retest when builds 
are available tomorrow. Reopen if problem still exists.
