OK, I've confirmed that this may be a problem with Ximian Evolution. I got the following response from their development mailing list:
[...SNIP...] This is interesting. There is exactly this bug reported with UW imap, 33668, you may want to add a "me too" with your particular imap server setup. [...SNIP...] I going add to the Bug that the problem can be duplicated with their client when connecting to a DBMail IMAP server. I'll let you know the outcome. BTW: My trace level is set to 5 and syslog = 1. What facility/priority does this go to in syslog, and how can it be modified.

One of our testing clients is Outlook and it seems to work fine. I know with Courier IMAP (which I played with about a year ago), everything was a subfolder of "INBOX." They reserved the root tree for Shared folders and stuff. The problem was Outlook express for one didn't every try to call "capabilities" so it didn't know this and always used to barf when trying to create folders. I made some hacks to change the namespace which solved that problem for me. Moving back to dbmail -- I think the way dbmail does it *is* compatible with outlook/express. I do seem to recall that there were some characters that were needed in the AcceptedMailboxChars array -- which may be especially relevant if you're trying to use any funny character sets or using punctuation, etc. Try with a few basic names and setting the debug level to 5. It may give you more of a clue. /Mark On 24/11/02 7:17 AM, "John Ruff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for clearing that up.
