From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i686) BuildID: 2000101015 The IMAP server is courier-imap on linux, storing mails in Maildir/ format Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up the IMAP account 2. Log in 3. Open the INBOX *Done* Actual Results: Last mail shown is one i received two days ago Expected Results: should have shown me the mails i received today (as does Netscape 4.76)

Do you also see that with a recent Mozilla nightly?
Summary: Unlike Netscape 4.*, mozilla does not show all my mails in my IMAP server inbox - today, on Nov. 16, the latest shown mails are from Nov. 14 → Not all contents of Courier IMAP INBOX shown
yes, i downloaded and installed a nightly mozilla build (and a netscape6 copy) today (Nov 21) , and both do not show all the mails. wolfgang
after i delete my ~/.mozilla folder Build 2000112021 first doesnt show them all either, then repeatedly brings up "Login Failed" errors and then finally shows all mails.
Do you have Courier IMAP test account available for external people for testing? Can you email to me for the server name, userid and password info to me, so I can reproduce this problem? Thanks.
Adding interop for the keywords. I cannot reproduce problem now since Wolfgang said that there was no testing account available for external people testing...... Wolfgang, can you provide an IMAP log for us for tracking this problem? You can setup the following in order to get log for us: ------------------------------------------------------------ Add a line to ~/.cshrc file of the csh shell as following: Set NSPR_LOG_MODULES IMAP:5 Set NSPR_LOG_FILE /u/[unix userlogin]/tmp/[filename] (ex:map5io.txt) (filename can be defined by you) -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keywords: interop
Karen, you can install (or let install) the server yourself at netscape.com. It is open-source. <http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/>.
i will set logging up tomorrow, maybe these are good for reference ... http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/BUGS.txt http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.imap.html
Wolfgang is this still a problem in the latest nightly builds?

unlikely that something changed since 2000-11-20.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
I encountered the same problem with a courier IMAP server with the 2001011905 build and with the nightly build from Jan 2 for Linux.
Sorry, that was the build from Jan 27.
Can you try on the latest build again?
Summary: Not all contents of Courier IMAP INBOX shown → Courier IMAP: Not all contents of Courier IMAP INBOX shown
Recent nightlies do not seem to cause this problem. 2001122108/Linux-i686 here.
WFM on Mozilla 0.9.8 with W2k and recent Courier IMAP on Linux I'd resolve it as WFM but I can't test the Linux-Linux combination.
I think I discovered what may be the root of the evil: Courier IMAP offers a compile-time option that enables compatibility to "broken" Netscape 4.x IMAP implementations. Maybe this prevents Courier IMAP from working properly with "sane" IMAP-Clients?
Maybe Mozilla is one of these "broken" implementations? (Mozilla's IMAP code is based on 4.x', I think.)
I built it with and without the options for "broken" Netscape 4.x IMAP implementations" Current Mozilla seems to function without the patch in courier the same as with the patch; however, there is still the problem of all folders under Inbox. Maildir folders on the server are being named: .<FolderName> Sub folders are being named: .<FolderName>.<subname> All in the same directory

This wfm, if anyone is still seeing this please reopen.
