Hello,
I was a little bit surprised as I compared the IMAP folder
view of e.g. Thunderbird with the folder view of SM.
Example:
In Thunderbird I have created subdirectories which
are containing several mail folders. Because I'm
using uw-imapd I need to decide if I want to create
a new directory or a mail folder, both at the same
time is not allowed.
The result looks like this:
/archive-1 <- this is a directory and therefore
| greyed out and not selectable
+- mail-folder-1 <- These are mail folders
+- mail-folder-2 <- which are selectable
+- mail-folder-3 <- for reading
In the .mailboxlist file you will find three entries:
archive-1/mail-folder-1
archive-1/mail-folder-2
archive-1/mail-folder-3
If I now fire-up Squirrelmail the subdirectory 'archive-1'
is not displayed in the left hand frame. Only the mail-folders
are displayed. If I now want to get the subdirectory displayed
I have to manually add this folder to the 'folder list'.
Now you will find the following entries in the
.mailboxlist file:
archive-1
archive-1/mail-folder-1
archive-1/mail-folder-2
archive-1/mail-folder-3
Switching back to Thunderbird the direcory will now be
interpreted as mail-folder, can be selected and causes
an error message.
I found two solutions for the problem:
1. Manually add a '/' to the end of the directory name,
like 'archive-1/'.
2. Manually remove the entry from the .mailboxlist file.
Now I wonder why the sub-directory needs to be added manually/
separately to the selected folder list to get it displayed from
whithin SM?
Why is it not added automatically when e.g. the mail folder
'archive-1/mail-folder-1' is added to the list of subscribed
folders? This would make sure that the folder structure is
displayed properly.
Isn't it at least necessary to a '/' to the end of the folder
name by default?
Regards,
Jürgen
