Well, I'll try. But it would be easier if I understood what's going on
and what would have to be fixed (roughly). A workaround would be nice,
too, since they'll probably just tell me "Sorry, we only support
Netscape and Outlook."
And we only support rfc compliant imap servers :-)
are you using 1.1? i thought htat had patches to get aroudn broken
proxies like this, but maybe it doesnt handle this case.
Yes, using 1.1 snapshots.
theres
absolutely no reason "" should be sent as a literal anyway.
Can you briefly explain to me what's going on? Doesn't the LIST
command require the reference name (ie, "") AND the mailbox name (eg, *)
as arguments? That's what RFC 2060 seems to me to be saying. Why is Evo
only sending only the ""? And is there a reason to use LITERAL+ in this
case? I mean, why not just send LIST "" * ?
it's sending the equivalent of:
LIST "" ""
this command is useful for getting the directory separator.
A0 LIST {0+}
_{0}
_
The above command is yet another way to do it (using _'s in place of
spaces to make it easier to see)
The reason the first is made into a {0+} is because we use the namespace
string (which could be anything) and so our code uses a %F (a made up
printf-style special) and when our code encounters that, it says "oh,
this IMAP server supports LITERAL+ so lets use that syntax" and it does.
the call is something like:
camel_imap_command (imap_store, NULL, "LIST %F \"\"",
imap_store->namespace);
or some such.
anyways, it is your imap server/proxy/whatever that is broken and we
have enough kludges around broken imap servers as it is without adding
more pain. Not to mention the current imap codebase is a complete mess
to work with.

Hey,
My school has changed the IMAP config, and now I can't login to get my
mail. The log's below. Looks like Evo is inserting a CRLF in the LIST
command where it shouldn't.
