evolution imap folder handling drives me crazy
Many people reported bugs about the whole "IMAP+namespace
* I can't get INBOX.trash, INBOX.sent whatever displayed outside the INBOX folder in the same level in the treeview on evolution. I tried everything what the interface allows me to do. The whole namespace stuff in evolution is pure pain for me. I typed everything from "INBOX." "INBOX/" to "INBOX". Actually INBOX/ worked in the way that evolution doesn't shown the INBOX anymore and all includes folders which is useless. On Thunderbird: I typed INBOX in the Namespace-Folder input field and it works after restart or minimize/maximize the treeview of the email account. All Folders are shown in the same level in the treeview. Even the Horde Framework shown the folders in the same level.
* Evolution use default icons for the IMAP folders. I doesn't set the right Icons for drafts etc. Even when I set the default Draft and Sent Folder from the preferences. On Thunderbird: I save a new mail as a draft. The draft folder creates automatically as INBOX.drafts and shown with the right Icon and the localized Label. This works great with all other Folders. On Evolution I have to rename the folder on the server, but what if people with different languages using the same folder?
* The local Trash and Spam folder are shown on IMAP account? Why?
I very thankful to the people who work on evolution, but it keeps me using POP3 or to use Thunderbird which works great on IMAP. I can't get it! Do I have to use a server who doesn't implemented IMAP in the INBOX or what? Are there any? That not a solution for that. I read some bug reports to the whole namespace+IMAP problems and the answers of the developers where disappointing. Is there a solution for my problems?
I'm using feisty and the included evolution version.
