Hi.

I am using courier imap server with virtual shared folders. My problem is I can't get Kmail to see those shared folders in the "Subscribe Folder" dialog.
I think this is a Kmail iussue because i read somebody else is having the same problem with kmail (see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5677043&forum_id=33081).

I must say, though, that the only client I have tried so far is Kmail (and Squirrelmail, no luck) .

Courier Imap virtual shared folders show up named something like "#shared.user@domain" : maybe Kmail does not like these names ??

Anyway here is some output from a telnet localhost 143:

a LIST "" *
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Drafts"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Trash"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Sent"
* LIST (\Unmarked \HasChildren) "." "INBOX"
a OK LIST completed

# list of shared folders
a LIST "" "#shared.%"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.postmaster@massimomartinelli it"
a OK LIST completed

# list of shared folders with acl properties
a LIST (acl) "" "#shared.%"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.postmaster@massimomartinelli it" (("ACL" (("owner" "acdilrsw")("anyone" "acdilprsw"))))
a OK LIST completed

# select of the shared folder
a SELECT "#shared.postmaster@massimomartinelli it"
* FLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Recent)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\* \Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen)] Limited
* 1 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 1100283436] Ok
* OK [MYRIGHTS "acdilprsw"] ACL
a OK [READ-WRITE] Ok

After that, logout and login with kmail, still no shared folder.

If you need a test account on my server just let me know.

Thank you in advance
Massimo

We can only support this with namespace support as the folders are in a different namespace. For the time being you could create a second account and use a prefix (I think #shared should work).
