SMS Backup+ assumes 'INBOX' at the root of the IMAP directory tree but email account may have been set otherwise #891

Open tocqueville7 opened 6 years ago

Expected behaviour

Operational (manual or automatic) 'save' function

Actual behaviour

Does not work anymore since April 2018 upgrade to 1.5.11: Error message is : *"Missing required argument to List [...] Command: LIST (SPECIAL USE)"" "INBOX/"; response: #3# [BAD, Missing required argument to List])**

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

I suspect the origin of the problem comes from the fact that my IMAP account (at Orange.fr) is not (cannot be) configured to start with INBOX/ It would be useful to be able to modify this assumption from within SMS Backup+

Please specify the following:

jberkel commented 6 years ago

the INBOX name is specified in the IMAP protocol:

The case-insensitive mailbox name INBOX is a special name reserved to mean "the primary mailbox for this user on this server". The interpretation of all other names is implementation-dependent.

Dear Jan, Thanks for your answer. I was wrong with my assumption then. Orange does probably comply with the IMAP protocol. But what is wrong then? What can be causing the error message that I reproduced in my original message ("Missing required argument to List [...] Command: LIST (SPECIAL USE)"" "INBOX/*", etc.) SMS BACKUP PLUS does not work for me anymore since 20180425 while I was very happy with it until then... Regards,

If you're a paying subscriber to Orange.fr, perhaps you could ask them for help?
