I want to add a new top level folder to my IMAP account. Right clicking the account name on the left doesn't have the option, right clicking the inbox does, but it creates a child of inbox, not top level. This used to work at some point since the Kmail2 upgrade but I don't create them very often Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. right click account name on left Actual Results: No 'new folder' item Expected Results: New folder item Dovecot IMAP server, up to date Fedora Core
File, New, Add Folder is also greyed out unless a sub folder is selected, which wont create them at the top level.
Still broken in 4.14.1 I don't know why the product and version were all changed, or why this is now a problem with Akonadi and not Kmail.
I am also seeing this issue since KMail 4.14. Creating a top level folder in an IMAP account is impossible. This worked correctly in KMail 4.13.3 After recompiling various kdepim* versions, I found the commit that caused the regression in akonadi. This commit introduces the regression and makes it impossible to create top folders: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kdesupport/akonadi/repository/revisions/70a3bef2d3b2ed9c11b141a3278ae8d1ae651aba Hope it helps solving the problem.
Well that's a start, awesome detective work! Now we wait for someone at KDE to notice?
Some additionnal infos: * When I add a new IMAP account in KMail, I can create new top level folders * However, closing & re-opening KMail disables the top level folder creation. Based on my previous comment, I think there is a flag issue with the "MERGE" command implementation, but debugging it is beyond my skills. I can provide test IMAP accounts if a developer needs to reproduce the bug.
Does anyone have an idea how to escalate this bug ?
same thing for additional maildir folders. When created in accounts they do not show up in the folder pane (kmail 4.14.4)

Not very friendly work around : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292418#c41
Still broken in Kontact 5.2.3 from KDE backports (http://www.kubuntu.org/news/plasma-bugfix-releases-frameworks-selected-app-updates-now-available-in-backports-ppa-for-zesty-and-xenial/)
The current release is 5.5.1, so you are several versions behind. Please test at least 5.3.5.
Should be fixed in 5.5.2 (KDE Applications 17.04.2): Git commit 580ef3441cdd9ca2555a2a00c54aaa97a26b43a1 by Daniel Vrátil. Committed on 02/06/2017 at 20:18. Pushed by dvratil into branch 'Applications/17.04'. IMAP: allow creating top-level folders it User namespace is empty If the server does not support namespaces or if the user namespace is empty then allow creating sub-collections directly under the top-level collection. FIXED-IN: 5.5.2 M +7 -0 resources/imap/retrievecollectionstask.cpp https://commits.kde.org/kdepim-runtime/580ef3441cdd9ca2555a2a00c54aaa97a26b43a1 (the commit message contained the wrong bug number...) I can confirm that this works here now on all my IMAP accounts that were affected.
Fixed by today's KDE Neon update to KDE 17.04.2
Not fixed. Kmail 4:17.04.2-0neon+16.04+xenial+build21
Not fixed, sorry : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350219#c22
Should be now fixed (see #350219).
