I worried a bit that the lack of Maildir in the directory path might confuse something, but so far all clients can enumerate the IMAP structure. > I don't remember now why I added the following, but it seems like it may be > worth a shot: > > imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep tb-lsub-flags >> I had tb-extra-mailbox-sep enabled, but on closer read it is only required if LAYOUT=fs, which I am not using so I removed it to simplify my options. I don't think it did anything better or worse being there. The documentation says delay-newmail is for outlook express 6 I haven't seen tb-lsub-flags - it seems to have been introduced in 2011 to help TB understand folders of folders. I'll give it a try, but I don't think it will impact the problems I'm seeing across so many clients. >> mbox_dirty_syncs = no >> mbox_lazy_writes = no > > Pretty sure the above is for mbox if you are using maildir I don't think they > apply, but I could be wrong.
