292523 - IMAP 'non-folders' (should be in italics) not recognised.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[David Cross]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050429 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: version 1.0.2 (20050429)

My IMAP address is split into the following folders
1. INBOX/
2.  Archived/Blah1
3.  Archived/Blah2
4.  Auto/Blah1
5.  Auto/Blah2
etc.. Neither Archived or Auto are actually folders. Archived shows up in
italics, Auto does not, Thunderbird repeated complains if you click on Auto by
accident.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create IMAP folders like in Details
2. Open up Thunderbird and log on
3. Click on Auto.

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird repeated moans that the folder doesn't exist, the message box keeps
coming up until you can get the highlight moved onto another folder. Sometimes
this isn't possible and you have to xkill the program.

Expected Results:  
Software should have done nothing. Like it DOES do with Archived/ folder.

This is a Gentoo package build. I have used Thunderbird in past and it hasn't
done this.
