In Maildir.py you may see around the lines 153-163: 153 if dirname == '': 154 if extension is not None: ... 159 else: 160 # We are skipping this because a directory with an 161 # empty path name does not make sense 162 self.debug(' skip this entry (None)') 163 continue And there is a good sense not to skip it in order to comply the Evolution's hardcoded Maildir structure. In order to comply with the structure, Inbox directory must be a top one, thus the following nametrans should be used: nametrans = lambda folder: re.sub('\s+', '', re.sub('(^.{1})', '.\\1', re.sub('^(INBOX)', '', folder))) And the very string above is falling under the line 159 in code and get skipped. Please, don't skip it, change the code. Evolution users will be happy. Anton.
This is fixed in newer versions of offlineimap. It wasn't present in Fedora 18 (so offlineimap-6.5.2.1-2.fc18) but it is now in F19 which makes offlineimap not useable anymore in F19. Hence, switching from Fedora's -2 to -4 breaks Maildir support. It works with latest upstream and you will find out that there the part of the code in question has also been removed upstream.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle. Changing version to '20'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora20
I have just pushed the third release candidate of offlineimap 6.5.5 to Rawhide. Could you test it to see if it solves the issue for you? You can get it early at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5975511.
Dodji, thanks, WORKS FOR ME
OK. I have no plan for backporting this into F20 and F19, but maybe that is what users want. I'll be listening to you guys opinion on this. In the mean time I'll keep this bug open so that folks see it easily in their queries.
Works for me too, backport to F20 at least would be nice.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
