Description Matthias Teege 2003-10-16 16:51:57 UTC 
Version:           1.5.3 (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
OS:          FreeBSD

KMail only works with a IMAP server that responds in upper-case. This is against the standard

from rfc2060:

9. Formal Syntax

	...

        (1) Except as noted otherwise, all alphabetic characters
        are case-insensitive.  The use of upper or lower case
        characters to define token strings is for editorial clarity
        only.  Implementations MUST accept these strings in a
        case-insensitive fashion.

It seems you are correct. Thanks for reporting this bug. Just out of curiosity, which server is causing problems?
Comment 2 Ingo Klöcker 2003-10-20 01:03:15 UTC 
re-adding summary. sorry for the noise.
Comment 3 Matthias Teege 2003-10-20 05:58:36 UTC 
It was the Plan9 imap4d. I've changed the server so that it works with kmail but the problem should be solved in the client. There are other clients out there with the same problem.
Comment 4 Carsten Burghardt 2003-11-15 00:28:55 UTC 
Can you describe what kind of problems you encountered?
Comment 5 Matthias Teege 2003-11-15 10:06:35 UTC 
Sure, if I remember correct. I can login on the imap server an get the folderlist. I also get the correct number of unreaded messages. But If I try to open a folder nothing happens. I think it was the imap fetch command. I cant fetch any message with kmail.

Reassigning the bugs of the SMTP, IMAP and POP ioslaves to kdepim-bugs.
Comment 7 Christophe Marin 2018-11-17 12:45:17 UTC 
kio_imap4 doesn't exist anymore.
