Do you also see that with a recent Mozilla nightly?

Comment 2

[Wolfgang Zeikat]

Attachment: Not all mails showing in Nightly either

[Wolfgang Zeikat]

yes,
i downloaded and installed a nightly mozilla build (and a netscape6 copy)
today (Nov 21) , and both do not show all the mails.

[Wolfgang Zeikat]

after i delete my ~/.mozilla folder
Build 2000112021 first doesnt show them all either,
then repeatedly brings up "Login Failed" errors and then finally shows all mails.

Do you have Courier IMAP test account available for external people for testing? 
Can you email to me for the server name, userid and password info to me, so I 
can reproduce this problem? Thanks.

Comment 6

[Karen Huang]

Adding interop for the keywords.
I cannot reproduce problem now since Wolfgang said that there was no testing 
account available for external people testing......

Wolfgang, can you provide an IMAP log for us for tracking this problem?
You can setup the following in order to get log for us:

------------------------------------------------------------   
Add a line to  ~/.cshrc file of the csh shell as following: 
Set NSPR_LOG_MODULES IMAP:5 
Set NSPR_LOG_FILE /u/[unix userlogin]/tmp/[filename] (ex:map5io.txt)
(filename can be defined by you) 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Karen, you can install (or let install) the server yourself at netscape.com. It
is open-source. <http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/>.

Wolfgang is this still a problem in the latest nightly builds?

Comment 13

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

unlikely that something changed since 2000-11-20.

Comment 14

[Dierik Lenkens]

I encountered the same problem with a courier IMAP server with the 2001011905
build and with the nightly build from Jan 2 for Linux.

Comment 15

[Dierik Lenkens]

Sorry, that was the build from Jan 27.

Comment 16

[Karen Huang]

Can you try on the latest build again?

Comment 17

[Miloslaw Smyk]

Recent nightlies do not seem to cause this problem. 2001122108/Linux-i686 here.

Comment 18

[Tom Mraz]

WFM on Mozilla 0.9.8 with W2k and recent Courier IMAP on Linux
I'd resolve it as WFM but I can't test the Linux-Linux combination.

Comment 19

[Dierik Lenkens]

I think I discovered what may be the root of the evil: Courier IMAP offers a 
compile-time option that enables compatibility to "broken" Netscape 4.x IMAP 
implementations. Maybe this prevents Courier IMAP from working properly 
with "sane" IMAP-Clients?

Comment 20

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

Maybe Mozilla is one of these "broken" implementations? (Mozilla's IMAP code is
based on 4.x', I think.)

Comment 21

[hanasaki]

I built it with and without the options for "broken" Netscape 4.x IMAP 
implementations"  Current Mozilla seems to function without the patch in courier
the same as with the patch; however, there is still the problem of all folders
under Inbox.

Maildir folders on the server are being named:
.<FolderName>

Sub folders are being named:
.<FolderName>.<subname>
All in the same directory
