Hi, the problem with courier-imap (and similar IMAP servers) is known. I've included part of some mails that went to the list a little earlier.
I would also like to ask Thomas solving the courier-imap problems a top priority. I looked into hacking it myself, but as other people have also experienced (and as he mentions below), the imap_root stuff goes pretty deep, and I would rather Thomas handle this himself.. or at least someone with much more knowledge of the codebase than myself.

Currently you have to change this in a few places, including the skin.
I will submit a change (later tonight, still at work) so that this
prefix has to only be set once in the main config file.
Also, I believe that it is possible to retrive this prefix from imap
- I know thunderbird allows you to set it, but also defaults to a "allow
server override" for the folder prefix.
Does anyone know further details on this?
Yes, you can get the prefic from the IMAP server. This is done with the function iil_C_NameSpace() in program/lib/imap.inc
In the latest CVS version, this is done (see rcube_imap.inc) but it does not set the 'imap_root' property because this would mean that the main INBOX folder is not accessible from RoundCube. I have to change the behavior of that 'imap_root' (which is quite deep) setting first. To fix this properly will take a wile...

Hi!
I just installed RoundCube and everything seems to work fine except for two things:
- I use bincimap as my imap server with the maildir++ depot (same as
courier-imap), which stores all the users folders in the INBOX.
If I leave imap_root empty in the config (as is the default) all the folders are shown as being under the INBOX, but the Sent, Drafts and Trash folders are not assigned icons.
If I change imap_root to "INBOX/" the folders are shown with correct icons but the Inbox disappears from the list and cannot be selected!
- I use qmail with vmailmgr as my MTA. I can login fine with virtual
users, but local users seem to generate some kind of loop and I cannot login, it just loads forever. If I check my imap servers logs it shows that the authentification was successful, RoundCubes logs show no errors and neither do the apache-logs.
I also have SquirrelMail installed and it works flawlessly as do stand-alone clients like Mozilla Thunderbird.
I realise that RoundCube is still in its infancy but the project looks very promising already! Alas I'm not a programmer, so I cannot contribute to the project (except with bug-reports ;).
Best regards!
