There may be a transition problem with regards to the hierarchy delimiter changing in the 1.1.x tree. Earlier versions used '.', but we now use '/' in the protocol. I found the transition with Mozilla to be a real pain, because Mozilla cached the delimiter so hard that I had to edit a conf file manually to get it to work again. >> I have exactly the same problem with mozilla 1.3a.

I cannot subscribe to more folders, as the >list is empty, booth with Binc 1.0.24 and Binc 1.1.3. Aah, okay. I would try to add a new mail account with the same settings and see if that works better, then if it didn't then I'd rename my .mozilla directory to .mozilla-bak, start mozilla again and set up my account from scratch. :/ >> However, when i did this i ran into another problem and this one is >> probably caused by binc.

The RFC states explicitly that Binc can not modify the contents of the subscription list, even when mailboxes are deleted from the depository. It's the client's responsibility to keep the subscription list up to date. What you should be able to do is to click "refresh folder list" or "reset folder list" or something like that. But I know Mozilla doesn't sync when another client has deleted a folder but didn't delete it from the subscribed list. A quick solution is to delete the bincimap-subscribed file in the depository, then re-subscribe in your client. :-) Andy -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | Nil desperandum
