Hi all,

I just installed Evolution 1.2 on my FreeBSD laptop, and immediately got
problems accessing my IMAP server which runs Courier-imapd 1.5.3.
Whenever I try accessing my INBOX I get 'This folder cannot contain messages'.
This is obviously not true, as Mozilla and other IMAP clients are able to
access that very same INBOX without complaining.

After a bit of research and running evolution-mail in debug mode, I found that
the imapd is sending a '\Noselect' flag with the INBOX, which according to the
RFC's specify that the folder is *not* to be selectable/viewable by the user.

Isn't this a bit weird? Or is there some good reason sending this flag with
the INBOX that I haven't seen yet? Or does it have something to do with the
rather strange namespace Evolution seems to be using?
Subfolders of the INBOX are accessible as they should be.

Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Eirik Oeverby
