Bug 115633 – Kmail 1.9 fails to create folder on Cyrus IMAP server

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joachim Holst 2005-12-15 02:44:42 UTC]

Using Kmail 1.9 (included in KDE 3.5), I can not create a folder on a Cyrus 
IMAP server. It works with Kmail 1.8 (KDE  3.4.x) and Evolution. Kmail displays 
a dialog informing about the failure.  
Have not tested the creation of folders does work when using Courier. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select imap account 
2.Select "Create new folder" 
3.Enter a name for the folder and press OK 
 
Actual Results:  
Dialog appears letting me know that the operation failed. 

Expected Results:  
Created the folder on my server!

Created attachment 74795 [details]
Dialog displayed after folder creation request

Dialog with information about the failure

[Comment 2 Joachim Holst 2005-12-15 02:50:41 UTC]

If a new folder is created as a subfolder to "Inbox" the folder gets created  
although the same dialog appears.  
 
After testing on Courier, folder creation works.

I can confirm it works for me with courier.  I don't have cyrus available to 
test with. 

[Comment 4 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2006-04-07 08:16:15 UTC]

Is this still a problem with KDE 3.5.2?

[Comment 5 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2006-04-22 15:22:29 UTC]

Please update to the latest split kdepim ebuilds and report back, if you still have the problem.
