#19 IMAP Folder Management

[Anonymous]

RedHat Linux 7.2 with Bobomail 0.6pre1 installed with
IMAP (uw-imap) support. Some issues with the folder
management.

bobomail correctly reads folders located in
$HOME/Mailbox, but displays them as "Mailbox/Folder",
kind of annoying, any way to just show "Folder"? Also,
I've used Outlook express on this account before, and it
creates it's own folders "Sent Items" and "Drafts"
The "Sent Items" folder shows up in the bobomail list
as "Items"" (note the quote at the end only) and is
inaccessible from bobomail because of this. Same goes
for any multi word folder.

I can delete or rename an existing folder from folder
management, but trying to create one gives
a "permissoin denied" error:

Unfortunately, an error occured:
Folder could not be created

Probably you used invalid charakters
["CREATE failed: Can't create mailbox node /test:
Permission denied"]

My suspisions that it was trying to create this folder
on / was confirmed when I chmod 777 / and tried again
with success. If I create folder /home/user/Mailbox/test
in the folder management it is successfull to
the /home/user/Mailbox directory. A little too much work
for end user folder management.

I see there hasn't been any activity on this project for
some time, I hope someone get this report and has a
suggestion. I really like this product, I've been using via
POP3 for some time and would just like to get IMAP
folder support working now.
