Package: mozilla-thunderbird
Version: 1.0.2-3
Severity: important
I use mailutils-imap4d as an imap server, so I can both use mutt and
thunderbird (locally or remotely through a stunnel) to access them (mutt
can use imap, but mbox is much nicer).
When I try to subscribe, the imap server provides my whole home (and an
additional Inbox for /var/mail/shevek). All folders are \NoSelect, all
normal files are \NoInferiors. I checked this with netcat, and it all
works fine.
However, thunderbird seems to randomly honour and ignore the
\NoInferiors. All folders are grey (unselectable), but only some of
them have a + in front of them. I'd like to use ~/Mail to store all my
mail folders (mutt's default), and unfortunately it got ignored, so I
cannot subscribe to its inferiors.
I monitored the connection between thunderbird and the imap server, and
I see nothing strange, except that the connection is sometimes
terminated unexpectedly. I suppose thunderbird does that, as I didn't
see it happen in similar situation with netcat.
Here's a (censored) transcript of the log. The first 3 characters on
every line are connection number and data direction, or == for new
connection and xx for terminated connection. The rest is the actual
transmitted data. The things between []'s are comments added by me.
