Re: [Geary] special folders not detected are created on server by Geary

[Federico Bruni <fede inventati org>]

I forgot to include what appears on terminal (no need to use -d option):

$ .local/bin/geary
*[wrn] 10:09:22 7,516294 default: imap-engine-generic-account.vala:907: 
Unable to ensure special folder GEARY_SPECIAL_FOLDER_TYPE_SPAM: Server 
reports error creating folder /Indesiderata: a021 NO [CANNOT] Invalid 
mailbox name: Begins with hierarchy separator
*[wrn] 10:09:22 0,109463 default: imap-engine-generic-account.vala:907: 
Unable to ensure special folder GEARY_SPECIAL_FOLDER_TYPE_ARCHIVE: 
Server reports error creating folder /Archivio: a022 NO [CANNOT] 
Invalid mailbox name: Begins with hierarchy separator

I'm now using only my primary dovecot account now.

And these are the logs using -d option:
