Package: evolution
Version: 2.4.2.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #140937
1. create 2 new maildirfolders in ~/Maildir on the imapserver:
hart at hive:~/Maildir$ maildirmake.dovecot .test.1
hart at hive:~/Maildir$ maildirmake.dovecot .test.2
This is the ExtendedMaildiFormat introduced by Courier to create
subfolders (http://wiki.mutt.org/?ExtendedMaildirFormat):
Maildir/
cur/
new/
tmp/
.test.1/
cur/
new/
tmp/
.test.2/
cur/
new/
tmp/
In a MUA, it would look like this:
INBOX
|-test
| |-1
| `-2
`-Sent
2. Now subscribe to the new subfolders in Evolution:
'Folder --> Subscriptions --> Refresh' and select 'test'
This gives: "Error while performing operation. IMAP command failed:
[TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: test"
The subfolders can be selected but they aren't visible until Evolution
is restarted.
The subfolders can only be accessed when the tree is expanded. If you
try to select the 'test' folder directly you get: "Error while Opening
folder imap://hart@mail.opensystems.nl/tst;noselect=yes. No such folder
test"
These problems don't occur in Thunderbird or Mutt. In TB, the 'test'
folder is grey and italic and in mutt the folder is shown as 'test.'.
A workaround is to manually create a new folder in Evolution and after
that create the subfolders. But that isn't right because you now have an
empty 'test' folder with a 'new', 'cur' and 'tmp' dir in it.

Frank
