Description Alexander Holler 2009-06-14 14:48:22 UTC

Thunderbird 3.0b2 does not show any folder outside my inbox. I also can't subscribe to any folder outside the inbox because they are simply not shown.

With v2 (f10) I could see all folders and I haven't changed the configuration since then.

The imap-server is an cyrus-imapd and the rights there for such an, now, invisible folder are e.g:

--------------------------------------
localhost> lam Mailinglisten.lkml
holler lrswipkxtecda
anyone lrs
--------------------------------------

I've searched for some (new) knobs in thunderbirds config, but was unable to find something related.

Comment 1 Alexander Holler 2009-06-14 20:40:36 UTC

The public folders just reappeared (without having changed anything on the server or client-side). Don't know what has happened. Sorry for bothering you.

Comment 2 Alexander Holler 2009-06-15 12:40:26 UTC

Just as a pointer, if anyone other experiences the same problem.

I've remembered that while searching in the settings of thunderbird for something related to the this bug, I've discovered that on the synchronization-tab a switch for "storing the messages lokal" (sorry, I'm using the german version, so I've translated the name of the switch by myself) was on. Because this is something I never wanted, and I can't remember why I should ever turned this on, I've turned that switch off. Maybe that has helped to show me all the public folders.

Comment 3 Alexander Holler 2009-06-17 08:41:45 UTC

Because bug #493000, I tested a version from koji. That version hasn't helped and I switched back (uninstall, install) to the released version thunderbird-3.0-2.3.beta2.fc11.x86_64.

Now all the public folders (above inbox) are again not shown (but the synchronization is still off).

Comment 4 Matěj Cepl 2009-06-17 14:36:43 UTC

Of course, obvious question ... this has nothing to do with "Show only subscribed folders" in Account Setup/<account>/Server Settings/Advanced Account Settings/, right?

Comment 5 Alexander Holler 2009-06-17 15:03:50 UTC

If that would be the case, then the dialog to subscribe folders would have had a problem because that dialog doesn't show me the (again) missing folders too.

And I swear I haven't changed any option, when I've switched back from the koji-version to the released version.

Comment 6 Matěj Cepl 2009-06-17 15:48:31 UTC

Could we move both to the upstream bug? Maintainers there are asking some questoins for which I have no answers.

Comment 7 Alexander Holler 2009-06-17 16:49:43 UTC

I've filed bug 498931 in mozilla's bugzilla.

I meant of course http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498900 . I will let them now that http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498931 is a duplicate.
