RFC 6154: IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes (Was: IMAP server is not added to the auto-generated user profile)

[ivanov17]

🐛 Bugreport

After logging into the Cypht interface using IMAP authentication, the IMAP server is not added to the automatically generated user profile. Accordingly, the username is not recognized and is not added to the address and reply fields:

At the same time, the IMAP server is added to the servers and saved correctly:

On the Compose page I see the message Please create a profile for saving sent messages:

Authentication is carried out using a full email address.

The same thing happens with both an empty default_email_domain parameter and a specified domain.

After manually updating the E-Mail Address and Reply-to fields and saving the profile, the IMAP server is added correctly.

Despite this, another problem arises: IMAP folders (Trash/Sent/Drafts) are not automatically recognized even though they exist on the server. Accordingly, I see the message Please configure a sent folder for this IMAP account on the Compose page.

Can you see if you can find a link to "folders"?

[ivanov17]

I hope I understand the question correctly.

I can select the IMAP server on the Folders page:

After that I can see a list of options and select all the required IMAP folders:

I think my IMAP folders should already have all necessary special-use flags, since desktop clients (Claws Mail and Thunderbird) recognize their types correctly. Unfortunately Cypht doesn't do this, but I don't know if it has to do this or not.

Ok, I see https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6154.html

@Yannick243 Please investigate.

Ok, I am testing it, and I will provide feedback

@Yannick243 It has been 6 months

With the refactor of IMAP & SMTP server configuration here https://github.com/cypht-org/cypht/pull/855 , the issue has been fixed. Credentials (imap server, smtp server, reply-to, etc) are being added to the auto-generated user profile automatically.

Credentials (imap server, smtp server, reply-to, etc) are being added to the auto-generated user profile automatically.

This is great. So part of https://github.com/cypht-org/cypht/releases/tag/v2.0.0

But there is another part to this issue: "RFC 6154: IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes".

We want Cypht to detect the folder type automatically like Claws and Thunderbird.

The fixes have been merged https://github.com/cypht-org/cypht/pull/1022

@ivanov17 Can you please test?

@ivanov17 Please test Cypht 2.1.0 or above so we may close this issue.
