RE: Phantom Folder

OK, I now have evidence -- while I haven't closely read the IMAP RFC recently, this behaviour seems like a bug:

MAIN 32:0.24 Sent: "00002 LIST "" ""\r
"
MAIN 64:0.24 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Noselect) "/" ""\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "00002 OK LIST completed\r
"
MAIN 32:0.25 Sent: "00003 LIST "" INBOX\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST () "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-01"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST () "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-01/Inbox-01"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-01/Inbox-01/Inbox-01"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST () "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-01/Outbox-01"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST () "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-01/Outbox-01/Outbox-01"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-01/Outbox-01/Outbox-01/Outbox-01"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST () "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-02"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-02/Inbox-02"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST () "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-02/Outbox-02"\r

"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-03/Bulkmail-02-03"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-03/Inbox-03"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST () "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-03/Outbox-03"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Inboxes/Inbox-03/Outbox-03/Outbox-03"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Inboxes"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Unmarked) "/" "INBOX"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "00003 OK LIST completed\r
"

In other words, in response to a LIST, it delivers not only the requested mailbox, but also a bunch of others with the same prefix.

Later on, it requests a full-top-level box list:

MAIN 32:0.25 Sent: "00004 LIST "" %\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Unmarked) "/" "--Hold"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "-Archive"\r

MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Unmarked) "/" "-Bulkmail"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "-Fax"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Unmarked) "/" "-Junkmail"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST () "/" "attached"\r

MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Business"\r

"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Inboxes"\r
"

"

"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Money"\r

"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Notes-to-Self"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Organizations"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Outbox"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "People"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Personal"\r
"
MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Tech"\r

MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "tmp"\r

MAIN 64:0.25 Rcvd: "* LIST (\Marked) "/" "Trash"\r

which is correct, and then later asks for the contents of "Inboxes"

when it seems to get its knickers in a knot again and laboriously report bad results.

So, does anyone from IpSwitch support read this list? I'd send it to their support dept, but I have been blown off so many times by them that I no longer pay for a maintenance license.

Phantom Folder

I first noticed this with Mozilla/Thunderbird Client, now with Eudora -- When I do a mailbox List, I am getting all sorts of phantom folders showing up with iMail server. These are sometimes folders that have long since ben deleted or moved, or they may be child folders that are showing up at a higher level (e.g. top level) than they ought to.

I dumped the interaction the first time this happened with Moz/Thunderbird, and am not clear who is at fault -- iMail reports these phantom folder, but they are not "marked". I am not sufficiently familiar with the IMAP protocol to know who failing here, but I suspect it is iMail.

In the more recent case, I feel it must be iMail -- Eudora isn't simply making up these top-level folders.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this? Any ideas?
