From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: evolution does not list my folders on the imap server. It did not work in rh8.0 either. But, mozilla mail works properly in both rh8.0 and phoebe. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.launch evolution 2. 3. Actual Results: no email folders displayed Expected Results: all my mail folders would be displayed Additional info:
Do you have "show only subscribed folders" checked or not?
show only subscribed folders is checked.
And if you go look under Tools->Subscribe to folders, do you see your folders as being subscribed to? Also, what mail server is running on the remote side?
Yes I do. Now I can see the folder if I click the in box menu above. What appears to be not working is when I click the Inbox icon on the side panel on the left--my email folders do not display.
Do you have the shortcut view or the folder view? By default, the shortcut view only has a shortcut for your inbox and not all folders.
Sorry, I misstated the issue. When I click Inbox icon i do not see my inbox email listed in the mail window.
I am not a RedHat person (only user) but this kind of works for me. Have a shortcut group with my frequent inboxes, and added shortcuts to my IMAP inbox and it works fine. What did not work (in RedHat 8.0 Evolution, have not tested this in Phoebe as I use the same home directory and profile in Phoebe) was the automatic creation of shortcuts to the IMAP inbox folder when creating the "mail account". I had to create the shortcuts manually, and the main "Inbox" shortcut only links to the local folders.
Thanks for the info. My concern is that casual users will not want to go to the extra effort to accomplish that and most will be confused unless it automatically sets those things up. They don't have to do that extra work in Windows.
The inbox there is the local inbox for evolution and not the remote inbox. A little confusing, but not something that's going to be changed locally.
