Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Vytautas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111

I want to get following structure:
folder
|_subfolder1
  |_subfolder1.1

If i do this in this way
1. menu "create folder"
2. enter "folder"
3. right click on "folder", menu "create subfolder"
4. enter "subfolder1"
5. ??? nothing ... I stil have only "folder"

So, I do it in this way:
1. menu "create folder"
2. and i enter "folder/subfolder1/subfolder1.1"

But, this should be or somehow explained to users, or made in more user friendly
way.



Reproducible: Always

so my guess is that your server doesn't support folders that contain both
messages and sub-folders. Is it a UW server? If that's true, you need to go into
advanced server settings and uncheck the box that says server supports folders
that contain both messages and sub-folders. Servers don't do a good job of
advertising this...

See also bug 106342. What David wrote works for one of my IMAP servers, but does
not work for the other. Bug 106342 is about the latter.

No reply from reporter.

SeaMonkey v1.0.x is not supported anymore.

(Would have been "Incomplete", now is) R.Invalid

Reopen if you can reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9.
