Where does it fail?
Ok, we're getting closer. It failed when selecting a mailbox,
permission denied. And I figured out why ... for some reason when the
user was cloned from the old server to this one, their -x bit didn't
stick for that mail-Archives/ folder. Now that that's fixed, I *can*
see and *can* subscribe to the individual mailboxes within any of the
archived folders.
But, there's a big difference between how Thunderbird sees things
and what Outlook sees, and I'm almost certain it's a problem with the
client:
Thunderbird will see exactly what I have subscribed to, stuff in
mail/ and stuff in mail-Archives/.
Outlook will *not* see mail/, at all. And it *will* see
*everything* that's in mail-Archives/, whether I'm subscribed to it or
not, it shows up. That's ... kind of annoying to say the least.
