99581 - Cannot read messages from mh folders over IMAP

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Lea Viljanen]

I tried to read my mh folders over IMAP with Mozilla 0.9.3 
running on Linux/Debian unstable w/ kernel 2.4.9.
It works just fine up to the point of selecting an actual
message to read. When I click a message to read it, I get an error
"The current command did not succeed. The mail server
responded: SELECT failed: Can't open mailbox : no such mailbox".
I also get sometimes the error message "...Command unrecognized:
UID FETCH." Since out IMAP server handles SELECT and UID FETCH
just fine, there seems to be a problem in Mozilla/Netscape.
Note the extra space in "Can't open mailbox_:"...

This is a showstopper for me. Netscape 6 has the same problem. 
Netscape 4 works fine.

Reporter, is this bug still appearing for you with current builds?  Were you
trying to read shared/public IMAP folders?

[Lea Viljanen]

This problem was with private folders, not public/shared.
It seems Mozilla 0.9.5 works just fine, great!
