Mail.app IMAP Folder Display Bug
October 3, 2006
Anyone want to see a bug in Mail.app v2.1 (752/752.2)? Here: mail_imap_single_subfolder_bug.mp4
In short, I have two folders under INBOX (in this case .Logs and .Other) which aren’t defined as special folders (.Sent, .Drafts, .Junk, and .Trash are being used as special folders in Mail.app). If I delete one of them, in this case .Other, suddenly .Logs is no longer visible.
In short, if there is one folder besides the ‘special’ ones off of INBOX, it won’t be shown. And yes, I’ve confirmed that the folder is subscribed. Pointing SquirrelMail or Thunderbird at the account shows all folders as expected.
This is with Courier-IMAP 4.1.1 running on FreeBSD 6.1.
And yes, this has been reported to Apple as Problem ID 4764544.
