Summary: KMail does parse LIST responses where the INBOX is not
first correctly
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: ladar lavabit com
Version: (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
When processing the response to the command:
10 LIST "" "%"
KMail requires that the Inbox be listed first. However technically speaking,
the folders, including the Inbox can be listed in any order. This causes very
weird behavior. Here is a sample response:
* LIST () "." "Cocoa"
* LIST () "." "Drafts"
* LIST (\Noinferiors) "." "Inbox"
* LIST () "." "One"
* LIST () "." "Sent"
* LIST () "." "Special"
* LIST () "." "Spoofed"
* LIST () "." "Trash"
10 OK LIST Complete.
If this is the response, KMail will store the name of the Drafts folder as
INBOX. As a result, on a subsequent login the commands will look like:
3 STATUS "Cocoa" (UNSEEN)
4 STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN)
5 STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN)
6 STATUS "One" (UNSEEN)
7 STATUS "One.Two" (UNSEEN)
8 STATUS "One.Two.Three" (UNSEEN)
9 STATUS "Sent" (UNSEEN)
10 STATUS "Special" (UNSEEN)
11 STATUS "Spoofed" (UNSEEN)
12 STATUS "Trash" (UNSEEN)
13 LIST "" "%"
14 LIST "" "Cocoa.%"
15 LIST "" "Drafts.%"
16 LIST "" "One.%"
17 LIST "" "Sent.%"
18 LIST "" "Special.%"
19 LIST "" "Spoofed.%"
20 LIST "" "Trash.%"
21 LIST "" "One.Two.%"
22 LIST "" "One.Two.Three.%"
Note how the status for the folder INBOX is requested twice (commands 4 & 5).
Furthermore, if the user were to select the Drafts folder, the inbox will
actually be selected, resulting in all of the messages in the inbox folder
appearing in the drafts folder.
On a side note, KMail does not appear to parse the folder flags insensitive to
case. So, for example, KMail will detect \Noinferiors, it will NOT detect
\NoInferiors. If memory serves this causes a serious issue with LIST "" "", if
the flag returned is \NoSelect.
