Description David Baron 2012-11-14 21:31:11 UTC
Every Dovecot major upgrade is a big problem. Now requires namespace. If the prefix is left blank for a simple default namespace, the server does not work complaining up duplicate empty prefix. But that's their bug.

So I enter a prefix. Prefixes are used to navigate namespace trees. Kmail thinks it is a mail folder and asks the server to open it. Of course, there is not such folder so the server returns an error. So while the imap account works 100%, every refresh yields and error box:

Error while getting folder information.
Unable to get information about folder ~/mail. The server replied: Mailbox isn't selectable

Choice to continue or cancel? (Continue or cancel what?)

Error is harmless and non-functional but repeats and repeats -- a royal pain!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Simply run kmail with (local) imap account
2. Manual or automatic mail check
3. Bingo! Clock either choice and read your mail
Actual Results:  
Error box described above:
Error while getting folder information.
Unable to get information about folder ~/mail. The server replied: Mailbox isn't selectable

Mail is OK.

Expected Results:  
Normal program operation

imap resource doesn't support namepace
Comment 2 Kevin Ottens 2013-11-16 07:27:32 UTC
The IMAP resource has a new maintainer, reassigning to him.
Comment 3 Christian Mollekopf 2013-11-20 10:30:08 UTC
NAMESPACE is supported, but only updated when restarting the imap resource. Does this problem still exist, and does dovecot report NAMESPACE properly?
(This can be checked in the imap resource settings -> advanced -> server info)
