[Dbmail] Re: Sub-Folders

[John Ruff]

OK, I've confirmed that this may be a problem with Ximian Evolution.  I
got the following response from their development mailing list:

[...SNIP...]
This is interesting.  There is exactly this bug reported with UW imap,
33668, you may want to add a "me too" with your particular imap server
setup.
[...SNIP...]

I going add to the Bug that the problem can be duplicated with their
client when connecting to a DBMail IMAP server. I'll let you know the
outcome.

BTW:  My trace level is set to 5 and syslog = 1.  What facility/priority
does this go to in syslog, and how can it be modified.

Mmm. One of our testing clients is Outlook and it seems to work fine. I
know
with Courier IMAP (which I played with about a year ago), everything was
a
subfolder of "INBOX."  They reserved the root tree for Shared folders
and
stuff. The problem was Outlook express for one didn't every try to call
"capabilities" so it didn't know this and always used to barf when
trying to
create folders. I made some hacks to change the namespace which solved
that
problem for me.

Moving back to dbmail -- I think the way dbmail does it *is* compatible
with
outlook/express.  I do seem to recall that there were some characters
that
were needed in the AcceptedMailboxChars array -- which may be especially
relevant if you're trying to use any funny character sets or using
punctuation, etc.  Try with a few basic names and setting the debug
level to
5. It may give you more of a clue.
