Hi all devs,
I've been trying to get RC running on an MS Exchange Server 2003 (not my imap preference, but at least better than needing 2 exchange servers to get webmail access!!!).
However, I've run across a few issues.
- Only the inbox folder is subscribed to initially, all others are not.
See http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1485263 If you view the list of folders however, they can all be seen. I've played around around with a few settings for imap_root, but to no avail. ("INBOX/","/","INBOX", etc.) As a side note, Thunderbird also has the same issue.
I'm willing to test and help develop a patch for this issue, I just need some help figuring out what exactly exchange wants, and where in the RC code I can play with it. I can only play with it a couple of times a week, so my apologies if it's a bit slow to complete.
- Not able to send email via local smtp server (exchange 2003 again)
Not sure on this one - but I haven't really tried yet....
Although I'm not a fan of Exchange in any form, I think it would be good to get some basic compatibility (i.e. folder subscribing) to allow others to later build plugins for the other functionality. If memory serves we had a similar issue with Courier-IMAP that was resolved.
I know it's been a while since I've been on (see RoundCube RSS Reader), but I have been watching the progress made (particularly on the recent plugin work), and I have to say a HUGE congratulations and thanks to all the devs (particularly to Till & Thomas) for all the work that's been put in.
I admit I am really looking forward to eventually getting into the plugin arch for developing a calendar & rss reader. :)

That's not a mail client issue then. ;) Other MUAs (hint, hint Apple Mail) just display all folders regardless of subcription status. You will need to iterate through your accounts and initially subscribe them if you want to change that.

Well, try harder then. ;) I don't know of any issue currently.

I think the solution is to subscribe the folders yourself or teach your users IMAP-fu - e.g. why they should subscribe to a folder, or not. This is not really an issue the MUA should solve.
