Bug#369830: kmail: since 3.5.x now way to hide IMAP INBOX prefix
Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.5.2-1+b2
Severity: normal
Hi, this could be a documentation problem ... but kmail seems to have
neither an up-to-date home page nor is the help of much use.
Here some details:
On my Cyrus IMAP server I see (as user cyrus) folders like
user.centauri
user.centauri.Archive
user.centauri.Current
and as user centauri:
INBOX
INBOX.Archive
INBOX.Current
e.g. INBOX is a prefix for the folders that actually contain my data.
In previous versions kmail allowed me to specify "INBOX." as a prefix
and the folder tree in kmail looked as I wanted:
Centauri
-+-Archive
+-Current
Since 3.5 this no longer works (the prefix option is gone) and setting
"personal" in the namespace fields does not help. The confusing tree
looks now like:
Centauri
---INBOX
-+-Archive
+-Current
This unwanted "INBOX" is quite confusing for most people and wastes space
on the screen.
