90980 - Default folders for Cyrus IMAP not created

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27002

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Steve Fox]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010705
BuildID:    2001070512

In creating a IMAP setup for a Cyrus IMAP server, the Trash folder gets created
correctly, under INBOX. Unfortunately, the Sent, Drafts, and Templates folders
do not get created. Since Mozilla assumes that these folders are on the same
level as INBOX, copying sent mail, saving drafts, etc, does not work until you
manually create those folders, and then specifically select them in the folder
listing (i.e. you can't use the top radio button for "default" folders).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new IMAP account.
2. Try to send a mail.
3. Dialog will give you "permission denied" errors since it is trying to write
to a non-existant folder (which it thinks is on the same level as INBOX)

Actual Results:  The "copy-to", "save draft", "save template" dialogs will
produce "permission denied" errors.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should have created the Sent, Drafts, and Templates
folders under the INBOX, such as it did with the Trash folder. Also, the
"default" folders should point to these subfolders, rather than non-existant
folders on the same level as INBOX.

Work around is to manually create the three folders and specify which foldres
that sent mail, drafts, and templates should be saved in.

Yes it is a duplicate. Some reason it didn't show up when I queried for Cyrus
IMAP..strange.
