Bug Description

Binary package hint: kmail

Version: 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu6
Arch: AMD64

Can't make folder on IMAP.

(IMAP server is dovecot 1.0.beta3-3ubuntu5.3, arch: i386, uses maildir.)

This is an old bug in kmail, and is claimed to be fixed.
The separator is incorrectly "." instead of "/" as I recall.

Excerpt from error message:
imap://[...]:143.new-folder//;INFO=ASKUSER

Yes, this kmail bug annoyed me too for quite some time.

It was really fixed not before KDE 3.5.3, and thus the fix came too late for Dapper.
You'll need to upgrade to a newer KDE version (3.5.3 or later) to be able to create imap folders with kmail when using dovecot.

You can find newer KDE versions for Dapper at
http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-354.php (for the newest KDE 3.5.4)
or
http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-353.php (for KDE 3.5.3)

This has also been fixed in Edgy (via a newer KDE version). I will thus close this bug as rejected. Thank you.

Best would be to backport the bugfix to dapper-updates from the new KDE version, opening again. (sry for rejecting, it was me who suggested it, I didn't look at the bug closely enough)

Change from rejected to confirmed. It should'nt be difficult to incorporate the upstream fix into the dapper package.

Here is a debdiff with the upstream patch to fix this. I made some quick tests and had no problems creating imap folders and subfolders with the new package.
