[Evolution] Bug#463238: evolution-data-server: IMAP INBOX capitalization error

[Alexander Bürger]

Package: evolution-data-server
Version: 1.12.3-1
Severity: important


Using evolution offline mode does not work with AOL.de.

I assume that the reason is that they have an "Inbox" while evolution
prefers "INBOX". When starting up offline, "INBOX" is not found in
.ev-store-summary (called from camel-store-imap.c:2071) and thus an
error message appears "No such folder INBOX". For other imap servers
sending "INBOX", this problem does not appear, and it also disappears
for AOL.de if one replaces "Inbox" by "INBOX" in .ev-store-summary
manually; but I cannot estimate if this manual change might introduce
other problems.

Maybe only the lines 2068--2071 in camel-imap-store.c (funtion
get_folder_offline) need to be re-ordered? I did not test this as I have
little motivation to recompile evolution-data-server. Anyway I think it
is better if somebody familiar with libcamel looks into this and fixes
the problem soon!
