That sounds very useful. Personally I don't need it, because when I'm on localhost I use mutt. :-) So what I want it for is reading e-mail on my laptop when I'm somewhere else. > How should thunderbird know that it can step down to folders if the server > returns \NoSelect ? \NoSelect means there cannot be messages in the folder. \NoInferiors means it cannot have subfolders. Neither of them implies the other. Obviously, when exporting a filesystem, every entry is either a file or a directory, but not both. Therefore, every entry will have \NoSelect or \NoInferiors set (and perhaps both, if it's an unreadable file). > Anyway, I see that this might be a bug, though I have not compared the list > command output with that of my hierarchical cyrus mailbox ... but maybe > setting your server directory for your imap account is enough for you? No, it isn't. But at the moment this bug doesn't bother me at all, as I have a workaround. For a "normal" imap server, I expect both \NoSelect and \NoInferiors to be scarce. Thanks, Bas Wijnen -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org). If you have problems reading my e-mail, use a better reader. Please send the central message of e-mails as plain text in the message body, not as HTML and definitely not as MS Word. Please do not use the MS Word format for attachments either.
