Version: 2.1.0 (using KDE 4.6.4) OS: Linux The KMail2 migration tool failed to handle IMAP subfolders properly. They are visible under INBOX, but show up empty. Refreshing the folders doesn't work either. In addition, non-ASCII letters in the names are displayed funny, for example, 'ä' is converted to '&AOQ-' and 'ö' to '&APY-'. Running akonadiconsole produces error messages like this: AgentBase(akonadi_imap_resource_0): Select failed, server replied: A000153 NO Invalid mailbox name: INBOX/Subfolder Removing the account and then re-creating it fixes the problem, even the folder names with non-ASCII letters in them. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Create subfolders on an IMAP server using KMail 1 (or any MUA), upgrade to KMail 2 and let the automatic migration tool do its job. Actual Results: Subfolders on the IMAP server are shown empty, and folders with non-ASCII characters in their names are renamed as described above. Expected Results: I expected the migration tool to do its job properly. The IMAP server is running Dovecot v2.
I can confirm this. After first using the migration tool, all sub-folders showed up empty. As the OP suggested, I deleted the account and recreated it manually. Now all folders show up correctly. btw, I first confirmed on 275418, but it appears the issue is with the migration tool, so this is probably the right place for it.
Confirm, I had the same problem, and it seems to be solved by recreation of the account. But now I get the message box each time the message list is refreshed: (account name) Select failed. server replied A000488 NO Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.
same here even with kdepim 4.7.0 (re-creating the account seems to help, too)
I can confirm this, but with slightly different behaviour: Some of the subfolders show one or two E-Mails out of hundreds on the server. Additionally those shown E-Mails seem to get copied every time KMail checks the server. I end up with hundreds of copies of said E-Mails (locally, not on the server). I wanted to see if this is common problem with my mail setups and tried a fresh install without migrating from KMAil1. But on this fresh install KMAil2 does not show any Mail in the subfolders.

Don't mix the issues please, >(account name) Select failed. server replied A000488 NO Internal error >occurred. Refer to server log for more information. is bug 258635
This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
