I have Courier-IMAP 2.0 installed under RedHat 9 on a Dell server. I compiled it with LDAP authentication and the workarounds for imap client bugs. It works fine until I try to make my Mozilla 1.4 IMAP client
Try compiling without the workarounds. Mozilla 1.4 should not need them.
That, of course, was the first thing I tried. That had the problem I described, so I tried enabling the workarounds, but to no avail. I appreciate your input, but I was hoping there was somebody out there who is actually using Courier-IMAP ver 2.0 with the Mozilla mail client and has figured out how to make it work properly. If there is anyone who could shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Mozilla works for me, and I didn't need to do anything special.
My advanced IMAP server settings dialog has "Server supports folders that contain subfolders and messages" checked, "INBOX." and "shared." as folder namespaces, and "allow server to override these namespaces." I don't remember if I had to set these manually. The only thing I had to manually reset is to bump down the maximum number of server connections to 4. It's possible that your random problems are due to Mozilla's default concurrency setting of 5, which exceeds Courier-IMAP's default limit of 4 connections accepted from the same IP address concurrently, which may result in random problems.
I'd love to get to the bottom of this. I was hoping it was just a Mozilla bug and would eventually go away with a new release, but it hasn't. Here's a document with screenshots that describes the problem:

Michael: In your Config #2, if you set your 'Personal namespace' in the Advanced IMAP server Settings box to be "" (that's two double quotes - you can't just leave it empty) it will work almost correctly. You can open the folders, create and delete sub-folders, etc. The only problem is the one I described in my original note: When you log in it doesn't know about any of your folders except Inbox, until you close and re-open the folder list. That wouldn't be a big deal, except that if you have filters that move mail to specific folders, they will fail and be disabled because they can't find the destination folder.
This problem doesn't happen if you just use the default config that Sam described, and let your folders be displayed as sub-folders of your Inbox. That's why I wondered if this is maybe a server bug. And , No its not due to the default conneciton limit; I have that set to 400 to accomodate my Squirrel mail server.
