$rcmail_config['imap_root'] = ''; doesn't work correctly

[rogerpueyo]

I am using recently released rc1.

In main.inc.php:

only list folders within this path
$rcmail_config [ ' imap_root ' ] = ' ' ;

Putting anything there (like 'mail') does not make RC to list only the contents of the "mail" folder, but shows the entire ~/ folder in Settings->Folders. What's more, putting anything instead of leaving it blank makes the list not to show the first letter (or some of the first letters) of files and folders listed there.

I also installed the nightly-svn build (18th March) and it doesn't give the same problem.

This seems to be more of a problem with your IMAP server configuration. RC only displays what is given to it by the IMAP server.

Thank you.

An IMAP server is one that allows computers to update the status of e-mails and have that carried across to other clients. If you read an e-mail on your iPhone and check e-mail from home later – that e-mail is marked as read there as well. It is essentially a file-browser, and you will be logging in with your standard user (though you could set up a separate user, if you wanted). Without the firewall in place, a security flaw in uw-imap would give an attacker access to your user files, and possibly to your whole system. An IMAP server is which can be coordinated with an ​Infra Red Repeater system is conceptually similar; but the protocol allows a much greater degree of subtlety (and efficiency) in how the client retrieves information from the server. The IMAP server listens on port 143, authenticates the user by username and password, and then interacts with the user's MUA over an extended period of time.
