Version: 1.9 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.4.4-r1 OS: Linux I moved a folder named like "myfolder.name" to my IMAP server. It created a folder named like "myfolder" with a sub folder called "name". The "myfolder" was greyed out. It should have warned me/offered to rename, or perhaps theres a name vs folder IMAP options where the folder name is not the same as the directory structure?
Hi - same error here. Suse 9.3 with kmail 1.9 (supplementary). Maybe there is a way to escape the '.' so that it can be used as a folder-name in an imap directory? I tried to move a folder with some Emails inside it - it was greyed out as described above, with the addition that i couldnt delete it through kmail anymore... HTH, Konrad (dfi)
Some other characters can't be moved to an imap folder either. They throw an error though. "(" and ")" for instance. Konrad

I can confirm this with KMail 1.9.6 (enterprise 0.20070907.709405). I experienced this bug today while I was moving local folders to an IMAP server at work. Some of those folder names contained a dot. There was no way to fix the resulting problem in KMail. Whatever I did, the IMAP server complained about every operation I wanted to perform on this folder. I had to use another IMAP client to fix the wrong folder structure on the server.
Cannot reproduce in KDE 4.3 anymore. Creating a folder "mail.box" worked without a problem.
