IMAP Problems
« on: January 02, 2001, 07:02:40 AM »
I posted earlier about Outlook crashing when checking IMAP mail on beta 2.

I figured out what causes the problem, but not how to fix it.  

When creating new folders in Outlook you are automatically subscribed to them.  This is normal and works fine under Exchange with my same Outlook IMAP setup.  The problem in e-smith is that when I create a folder and then click on the subscribed tab there are TWO ENTRIES for the same folder name that I just created.  And when I click send and receive it crashes Outlook hard.  If I unsubscribe to one of the two folders named the same it removes BOTH from the subscribed folders view.  

If I unsubscribe from all folders and let it default back to just the inbox it works fine.  But as soon as I add folders it crashes Outlook every time.

I had someone tell me that they had to do some sort of manual mail folder creation to fix the problem in an old Redhat distro, but I am stumped on how to do that.

If you guys could shed some light on this I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks,

Daniel
