Bug ID: 366357
Summary: IMAP account enables server-side subscriptions and
doesn't check mail in parent folder
Product: kmail2
Version: 5.1.3
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ja...@jmbeck.com
I have an email account with a directory structure that has Inbox as the
parent, and many folders below that (as children). When server-side
subscriptions feature is enabled, the mail in the Inbox parent folder is not
displayed.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup an IMAP email account that contains a directory structure as follows.
The names of the folders probably aren't important, but the fact that (e.g.)
the trash folder is a sub-directory of the Inbox folder, is probably important.
Note that email exists in the Inbox, as well as the sub-directories.
* Inbox
* old-messages
* trash
* myspecialmessages
* archive
2. Enable server-side subscriptions.
3. Allow the account to fetch the email from the server.
Actual Results:
The trash and old-messages folders contain email. The Inbox parent folder does
not display any email in the message list.
Expected Results:
The email located in the Inbox should be displayed in the message list.
I've had this problem for many years, actually. It doesn't happen with Gmail,
but it always happens with my Dreamhost hosted account. It always takes me a
couple frustrating days before I remember what the problem is.
This might be another bug, but I also have trouble setting the Trash folder for
the account. Even after disabling the server-side subscriptions feature, it
seems to mess up something fundamental to the account. When setting a Trash
folder, it never keeps the setting and refuses to allow me to delete email. I
have to delete the whole account and start again without server-side
subscriptions.
