282719 - IMAP server directory path displayed as set of mail folders

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Jeff Lloyd]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: version 1.0 (20041206)

I am using the standard University of Washington IMAP server, and in my 
advanced options I enter the absolute path to my mail directory.  Each 
directory in the path is shown as a mail folder for the account.

I have found this behaviour on Solaris versions of imapd, using previous 
versions of Thunderbird.  My current setup is Thunderbird 1.0 on W2K, and imapd 
running on W2K using the Cygwin toolkit.

Note:  I think this bug is related to 227840 which has been around for a long 
time now.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create IMAP account
2. Enter path to your mail directory under advanced options
3. Look at the folders under the IMAP account and you will see each directory 
in the path represented as a folder



Expected Results:  
The path to the mailbox should not be visible under the IMAP account (the tree 
of folders/mailboxes).
