Good to know they fixed it...
If only they'd fix the namespaces issue!!
According to their documentation, it is, quote:
"...usually best to leave the IMAP server directory field empty, check
the checkmark for "Allow server to overide these namespaces" and to
use "INBOX." (the trailing period is critical) in the personal
namespace field. There are some IMAP configurations where that's
inappropiate but it's not as common as most people think. If the
namespace is not configured correctly you will typically see multiple
copies of a child folder, child folders as peers to the Inbox, or be
unable to create child folders. Thunderbird normally displays the
Inbox folder as the root, with no peers."
What's interesting here, is "Thunderbird normally displays the Inbox
folder as the root, with no peers". I get the impression this means
that the namespaces are working correctly when child folders are
displayed as subfolders of the Inbox.
I would say so. Some people actually prefer to have it setup this way,
especially those who use Shared Folders. I would say that this is a
layout preference rather than a bug. The problem is, many people
consider it a bug and they consider it a bug in Courier, not Thunderbird
which of course is wrong. I doubt TB will "fix" this because as I said
it's not really "broken" and a "workaround" exists.
