Description

I am using a fresh install of 0.4-beta and can't seem to get threaded view to work. I tried IE 8 (also compatibility mode) and Firefox 3.6. They are not showing. Can't find any settin where i have to activate it.

Does your IMAP server support THREADS capability?

comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by nagus69

  • CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 IDLE AUTH=CRAM-MD5 SORT QUOTA NAMESPACE UNSELECT UIDPLUS LITERAL+ MULTIAPPEND CHILDREN WITHIN

Thats the output - does this help? It's a selfbuild IMAP server from my Webhoster.

  • Resolution set to worksforme
  • Status changed from new to closed

So, THREADS aren't supported.

Thank you for pointing this out!

As threads work with our dovecot server in Thunderbird or Outlook, I never thought of a missing IMAP capability.

Please document this as a requirement for threaded email.

  • Type changed from Bugs to Feature Requests

Actually im surprised that this is required a server feature. Mails can be identified by subject and thus displayed accordingly or not?

  • Milestone changed from 0.4-stable to later
  • Summary changed from Threaded view not showing/working to Threaded view on servers without THREADS capability

There are also other algorithms for threading. Implementing this in PHP is not simple and will be much slower.

Ok - if time permits maybe implement it and have it being enabled in the config file for experienced users?

Thanks as always

I'm having the same problem using courier imap. In my IMAP_CAPABILITY string, I have the following:

IMAP_CAPABILITY_ORIG="IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-SHA1

AUTH=CRAM-SHA256 IDLE"

It is showing THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT and THREAD=REFERENCES

Is there any more I need to enable? I do not see this working in 0.4

nevermind. Just found the little icon on the top left of the Inbox, which allows the user to select "Threaded View"

Thanks anyway!
