Runbox, Mozilla, IMAP, missing Drafts folder

oysterquartz · 19 Jun 2003, 02:15 AM

Back to using Mozilla 1.4.1 for a while (along with a host of others) and I just discovered that the Drafts folder can't be refreshed or subscribed to ... it just doesn't appear!

Any ideas??

No other Mozilla users here?

Hi oysterquartz,

I am fairly certain that Runbox's implementation of the 'Drafts' folder is not entirely compatible with the IMAP protocol. It behaves slightly differently from other folders and this affects its functionality with some IMAP clients. Perhaps this is the problem that you are having.

As far as I am aware, the Runbox crew are aware of this anomaly and are hoping to eventually rectify it.

Yep, the Drafts folder is not a real folder, hence it won't sync yet. To be fixed!

OK. Thank you Hajonez and Liz. Glad to hear that it wasn't me ...

I use Mozilla. I just don't use IMAP.

I never post regarding that earlier, cos' I was thinking it was my configuration of Thunderbird that was wrong, but seems it was not eheh

I use mozilla, but I never asked about it cause I never use the drafts folder

I'm actually using Tunderbird now...

Do you find Thunderbird stable enough? I have both Moz and Thunderbird (and Firebird!) installed, but most use Opera 7.1.

I actually went back to Moz. since it has great GnuPG support through Enigmail.

Well, I have Tunderbird as a second client to test it. No mayor problems so far

Hello,

I'm using Firebird since it came out, and I had no problem since I'm using it!
I really appricate Thunderbird and Firebird...

I had some problems with the Firebird browser. It crashes when you fill in forms. (Or at least on my comp)

COUME · 21 Jun 2003, 08:30 PM

Hi,
I use it to fill up html and pdf form and I had no trouble.
I'm under XP Pro.

I uninstalled Firebird and am using the 2nd release client from Mozilla. No problems there
