Description Thomas Tanghus 2013-09-15 14:50:52 UTC
I have a folder INBOX.Notifications.BoxeeHacks which I try to delete.
In akonadiconsole debug information view I get:

NotificationManager::notify ( Items () in collection 1007 removed )
NotificationManager::notify ( Collections ((1007,.BoxeeHacks)) in collection 66 removed )
AgentBase(akonadi_imap_resource_1): Failed to delete the folder, restoring folder list.
NotificationManager::notify ( Collections ((1050,.BoxeeHacks)) in collection 66 added )

And in the all tab:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. RMB-click on an IMAP folder and select Delete
2. Watch the folder disappear only to reappear a moment later.

Actual Results:  
The folder reappears after deletion

Expected Results:  
The folder should be deleted remotely and locally.

This also happens with folder directly under INBOX

I believe my provider is using Courier IMAP

Comment 1 Daniel Vrátil 2013-09-16 14:38:48 UTC
Could you please try following:

$ export KIMAP_LOGFILE=/home/.../kimap.log
$ akonadictl restart

This will log all the IMAP communication between the Akonadi resource and the IMAP server. Try to remove a folder from KMail and paste here content of the file (there might be multiple files, if you have multiple IMAP resoures, so you have to find the correct one :-)). Also make sure to strip any sensitive data - essentially the only part I'm interested in is the "DELETE" command and reply from the server, so you can remove rest of the communication completely (but please provide some lines before and below as well for better context).

Just to be sure: Is the path  /home/.../kimap.log literately meant, or just to show that I should choose a path myself?
Comment 3 Daniel Vrátil 2013-09-16 16:01:39 UTC
You can choose yourself :) It does not have to even be called kimap.log

I thought so, but could be a fancy shell feature I didn't know ;)

Well the answer is pretty clear. Apparently you have to select a different folder before you can delete it. This has to be done by kimap/akonadi as it's not possible to RMB-click on a folder without selecting it.

Just noticed you've already got a patch Daniel - great :)
Comment 6 Daniel Vrátil 2013-09-18 07:53:52 UTC
if you are able to self-compile kdepim-runtime (stable), could you test the patch? I don't have access to any server that imposes such restriction, so I couldn't verify it really fixes the problem.

I've updated my kdepim-runtime clone. These days there are usually years between I compile anything; can you give the exact command for recompiling it, and is it enough to compile resources/imap?
Comment 8 Daniel Vrátil 2013-09-18 11:31:18 UTC
You can compile KDE/4.11 branch

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr 
cd resources/imap      # you can compile just the IMAP resource
make
sudo make install
Comment 9 Thomas Tanghus 2013-09-18 12:47:47 UTC
Hmm, I made a clean build dir, applied the patch, restarted akonadi and still get:

C: A000514 SELECT "INBOX.Notifications.BoxeeHacks"
S: * FLAGS ( \Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Recent )
S: * OK Limited [ PERMANENTFLAGS ( \* \Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen )  ]
S: * 0 EXISTS
S: * 0 RECENT
S: * OK Ok [ UIDVALIDITY 1355272761  ]

S: A000514 OK Ok [ READ-WRITE  ]
C: A000515 STORE 1:* +FLAGS (\DELETED)
S: A000515 OK STORE completed.

S: A000516 OK EXPUNGE completed
C: A000517 DELETE "INBOX.Notifications.BoxeeHacks"
S: A000517 NO Cannot delete currently-open folder.

The new resource is properly installed:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8528593 Sep 18 14:08 /usr/bin/akonadi_imap_resource

But I also got:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7978566 Sep  3 20:38 /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/akonadi_imap_resource

Does that interfere with it?
Comment 10 Daniel Vrátil 2013-09-18 13:12:50 UTC
Ooops, the IMAP resource actually uses different task than the one I fixed, sorry.

I have updated the patch in reviewboard - could you try it again please?
Comment 11 Thomas Tanghus 2013-09-18 13:52:25 UTC
Sweet:

S: A000500 OK STORE completed.
C: A000501 EXPUNGE
S: A000501 OK EXPUNGE completed
C: A000502 CLOSE
S: A000502 OK mailbox closed.
C: A000503 DELETE "INBOX.Notifications.BoxeeHacks"
S: A000503 OK Folder deleted.


Thanks a lot :)

Close IMAP mailbox before deleting it

Some IMAP servers don't allow deleting a currently SELECTed
mailbox, so we close it before DELETEing it.

Comment 13 Morten Lind 2014-01-11 23:38:51 UTC
Hi Daniel,

Good fix for deleting. However, I have the same problem with moving. My Kmail reports the response from my Courier IMAP-server: "Rename failed, server replied: A001311 NO Can't RENAME the currently-open folder". I am on Debian with kdepim-runtine v. 4.11.3-1 (testing, unstable)

It seems the same problem as the above, but I find no separate bug-report on it. Do you think you could fix this? Or should I file a separate bug-report? 

Best,
Morten

I still get the following message when moving a folder:

"Rename failed, server replied: A003117 NO Can't RENAME the currently-open folder"

I am running libkimap4 v. 4.12, which I expect is what the bugfix mentioned:
