Description Arne Goetje 2004-04-12 04:01:07 UTC
Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

I've upgrades from KDE 3.1.5 to 3.2.1 on Debian unstable. With the new kmail version subfolders under INBOX are not displayed anymore in the folder list, although they still exist on the server. With the older kmail from KDE 3.1.5 on a different machine I can fully access these subfolders. It does not matter if the 'Prefix to folders' field in the settings contain INBOX or is empty. The subfolders are not accessable anymore.

What imap server is this? Any configuration details? Do you see the subfoldes 
in the subscription dialog?

Comment 2 Arne Goetje 2004-04-13 08:24:28 UTC
We run uw-imapd-ssl (Debian package).

No, I cannot see the subfolders in the subscription dialog. Only 'inbox' is displayed, even when pressing the Refresh button.

How do you create folders under inbox with an UW-imap server? AFAIK it
does not support this.

OK, please do the following (hopefully your server does also support
unencrypted connections):
telnet <server> 143
1 login <username> <password>
2 list "" "*"
3 logout


Comment 4 Arne Goetje 2004-04-14 03:16:41 UTC
It does support only one level of subfolders. I created them with older kmail versions. It worked fine and they are visible when I log in via ssh.

Unfortunately the server does not accept unencrypted connections.
Comment 5 Arne Goetje 2004-06-18 07:38:51 UTC
solved by moving subfolders into top level directory
