Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:68.10.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I got fed up with Roger/Yahoo failure to handle POP3 accounts so I decided to
switch to IMAP, hoping it would work better.
Unfortuately Thunderbird doesn't have method for converting a POP3 mailbox to
IMAP. It forces you to copy existing e-mail
from the POP3 folders to a new IMAP inbox but doesn't even let you copy a
folder structure - you have to rebuild it
folder by folder in the IMAP inbox. That's when I discovered that new folders
don't show up until you restart Thunderbird.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I can create folders in the IMAP inbox (and in subfolder thereof) but they
don't show up. Even the "copy to" right-click
menu option doesn't see the new folders. If I shut down and relauch
Thunderbird, they show up but this is clumsy and
time consuming.
* What was the outcome of this action?
After a restart the folders show up.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The folder should show up immediately upon creation like they do with POP3
inboxes.
