IMAP namespace command not honored by RC

[ive]

Roundcube doesn't discover mailboxes under namespaces. Server dovecot-1.2.11 has:

namespace private {
    prefix = Company/
    separator = /
    location = virtual:/var/mail/virtual:INDEX=MEMORY:LAYOUT=maildir++
    subscriptions = no
    hidden = no
    list = no
}

But under "settings->Folders management" there is no Company/* mailboxes. I have attaches imap_debug.log(wrond RC) and direct(correct) imap session logs.

Example of correct imap namespace discovery

ROundcube uses NAMESPACE command (at least in 0.5), but doesn't show folders that are not listed in LSUB/LIST "" "*" result. Why did you set list=no and is this working with other clients?

There was an interesting discussion about that on the imap protocol mailinglist:

​http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/pipermail/imap-protocol/2010-May/001076.html

LIST "" "*" should list the default namespace, nothing else, so list = no is the standard behaviour.

Other client can list mailboxes under list=no namespaces.

I usually set on imap servers the default namespace to "" and set all additional namespace to hidden=no/list=yes. This works with most clients and supports clients with no or broken namespace support, too.

Roundcubes behavior is not wrong so this is not a bug but a feature request to explicitly request list for all namespaces.

Please, test with attached patch for program/include/rcube_imap.php file.

It's working! Great -- thanks.

Applied in [89dcf540].

Please check out the Commit [89dcf540]. Is the assign for name intended:

No it isn't. Thx. Fixed in r5431/svn.
