Topic: Missing Folders with IMP 3.0

[Geoff Storer]

I have recently upgraded my e-smith box from 4.1.2 to 5.5.

When accessing the mail via outlook all seems to work ok but I now have a problem with the new imp 3.0 interface.  I cannot see any of the folders except the inbox.  

Is there a fix to this are a work around.  Would it help to upgrade to IMP 3.1.  I also noted that there is am IMP-folders rpm.  Would this fix the problem.

I am a bit reluctant to just trying things as I anly have one server and it is a production machine with many users.

Cab anyone help with advise.

Thanks

I have just found a sort of fix.  When you enter imp3.0 login screen you clear the "folder prefix" entry.  By default it is "Mail/".  It's a bit annoying but it seems to work.
Is there a way to have this field default to "blank" so that I don't have to clear it each time.  Went into the Imp 3.0 options screen but cannot seem to find a setting for this.

Any suggestions?

This means you created the folders in the wrong place.  To keep from having to clear out the folder prefix every time, log in as root and do this:

# cd /etc/e-smith/templates/home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php
# mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php
# cp 120IMAPServers /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php
# cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php
# pico 120IMAPServers

change the folders line to '' instead of 'Mail/'.  Note that that's two single quotes, not one double quote.

# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php
