Description

[Bernd Nies]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.11) Gecko/20101012 Firefox/3.6.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.11) Gecko/20101013 Thunderbird/3.1.5

We have Cyrus 2.2.13 and Zimbra 6.0.7 as IMAP server. Since version 3.0 Thunderbird mail client can't subscribe to more than two levels of netsted IMAP folders. But those subscribed with other mail clients can be displayed and they can becreated.

Example:

- Inbox
- Drafts
- Trash
- Folder1
  - Subfolder
    - Subsubfolder1
    - Subsubfolder2
    - Subsubfolder3

When unsubscribing from Subsubfolder 1-3 and opening the subscribe dialog again, then on Subfolder the arrow for unfolding the folder with its subfolders is missing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create more than 2 levels of nestd IMAP folders
2. Unsubscribe from the IMAP folders you've created
3. Try to subscribe again
Actual Results:  
The arrow for unfolding the folder on level 2 and beyond is missing.

Expected Results:  
All IMAP folders with subfolders should have an arrow for unfolding them, no matter how deep the level is.

Are you talking about phenomenon/issue which was already reported to bug 592633 and/or some bugs which were duped to the bug 592633?

It sounds absolutely same phenomenon I reported to bug 514106 which I closed as dup of bug 592633 becaude developer proposed patch to bug 592633 instead of first report nor older bug reports for the problem.

Yes, sounds like the same issue. The Thunderbird 2 series didn't have that problem but they don't run on our current openSUSE 11.2 Linux due to library incompatibilites.

I searched for that bug yesterday but only saw t-rex eating bugs for 10 minutes.
