I ran some tests on Squirrelmail-1.2.11 and found that
choosing option D to set Courier defaults still doesn't
give good results
The standard squirrelmail folder options look like this
Folder Defaults
1. Default Folder Prefix :
2. Show Folder Prefix Option : false
3. Trash Folder : INBOX.Trash
4. Sent Folder : INBOX.Sent
5. Drafts Folder : INBOX.Drafts
6. By default, move to trash : true
7. By default, move to sent : true
8. By default, save as draft : true
9. List Special Folders First : true
10. Show Special Folders Color : true
11. Auto Expunge : true
12. Default Sub. of INBOX : true
13. Show 'Contain Sub.' Option : false
14. Default Unseen Notify : 2
15. Default Unseen Type : 1
16. Auto Create Special Folders : true
17. Don't move folders into Trash : false
18. Enable /NoSelect folder fix : false
Pressing D alters the settings as follows :
imap_server_type = courier
default_folder_prefix = INBOX.
trash_folder = Trash
sent_folder = Sent
draft_folder = Drafts
show_prefix_option = false
default_sub_of_inbox = false
show_contain_subfolders_option = false
optional_delimiter = .
Now, if you press D, and then go into squirrelmail,
the Folder list in the left-margin appears as :
INBOX (color red)
Drafts (color red)
Sent (color red)
Trash (color red)
So that is all good so far.
Now, go to folders
Create Folder
folder name : Test
as a subfolder of
[None] <-- default
INBOX
Drafts
Sent
Choose None
Folder list in left margin now appears as :
INBOX (color red)
Drafts (color red)
Sent (color red)
Trash (color red)
test (black)
So I suppose this is ok, but the way that the
screen is drawn, it looks like test is a
subfolder of the INBOX
This time we will test to see what happens if
you actually choose to make a subfolder of inbox :
Go to folders
Create Folder
folder name : Test2
as a subfolder of
[None] <- Default
INBOX
Drafts
Sent
Test
choose INBOX
Folder list appears as
INBOX (color red)
Drafts (color red)
Sent (color red)
Trash (color red)
INBOX (black)
test2 (black)
test (black)
HUH? Now we have two inbox folders!
That is not what you would expect to see..
Its pretty messy now if you go back to the folders menu :
Go to folders
Create Folder
subfolder list is now
[None]
INBOX
Drafts
Sent
INBOX
INBOX.Test2
Test
Yuk! How confusing/messy!
That is why I dont recommend that people press D
=========================
Rather than pressing D, if you leave the folders
at their default settings :
Initially the folder list in left margin will appear as
INBOX (color red)
Drafts (color red)
Sent (color red)
Trash (color red)
Now, go to folders
Create Folder
folder name : Test
as a subfolder of
[None]
INBOX <-- Default
INBOX.Drafts
INBOX.Sent
choose none
You get error
ERROR : Could not complete request.
Query: CREATE "test"
Reason Given: Invalid mailbox name
So that is cool. You cant create a folder with no parent...
Now for our next test :
Create Folder
folder name : Test2
as a subfolder of
[None]
INBOX <-- Default
INBOX.Drafts
INBOX.Sent
choose INBOX
Folder list in left margin appears as
INBOX (color red)
Drafts (color red)
Sent (color red)
test (black)
Trash (color red)
So that is good. Everything showing up as you would expect.
Next, Go back to folders
Create Folder
as a subfolder of
[None]
INBOX
INBOX.Drafts
INBOX.Sent
INBOX.test
So this is all as you would expect as well.
So, folder management works fine as long as you don't press D
