Description Unai Garro 2003-10-23 18:04:15 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.1 
OS:          Linux

It seems that kmail considers the mailbox prefix as another mailbox, when using the disconnected mode.

The structure on the imap server that I have has a directory called "Mail" which contains all the mailbox files (sent, outbox...).  So I set it to use "Mail" as prefix.

This setup works works fine on the online mode. But with the disconnected imap version, kmail seems to try to read "Mail" as a mailbox, which is not (it's just a folder that contains all the mailboxes which are plain files)

So I get the following error:

"Unable to open folder Mail. The server replied: SELECT failed: Can't open Mail: not a selectable mailbox"

CVS commit by burghard: 

The dimap folder listing now works with prefix. It uses the same logic as online imap.

This should probably be reopened, because I'm having almost exactly the same problem with an up-to-date kmail (3.3 BRANCH). From the logs:

"kmail: check mail started - connections for host mail.cs.tut.fi now is 1
kio (KIOJob): error 8 ACL
kio (KIOJob): error 63 Unable to open folder Mail. The server replied: SELECT 
failed: Can't open Mail: not a selectable mailbox"

("Mail" is the prefix, as in the previous case)

I'm using kde cvs from a few days ago. (though problem also seen with 3.3)

I can access my mail just fine using an account with type=imap (I have prefix=/Mail/).
If I try to use type=cachedimap (with all other details the same) I get the following error message;

---
Error while reading folder Work on the server:
Unable to open folder Mail/Work. The server replied: SELECT failed:
Can't open Mail/Work: not a selectable mailbox
---

I see similar messages for all sub folders of Mail.

The server is IMAP4rev1 v10.220
