Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

I have several pre-existing IMAP folders created by Pine in an account. Thunderbird does not seem to find or display these folders or their contents.

However, if I create a new folder using Thunderbird on that account, Pine can see it immediately and transfer messages to/from that folder.

IMAP is now enabled for Gmail. Actually when you add a new account it's possible to select Gmail but all predefined settings are for POP access. If I want to add IMAP access I need to go through 'Email account'

Steps to reproduce:
1 Enable IMAP in your Gmail account.
2 Open Thunderbird, and select Tools > Account Settings.
3 Click Add Account.
4 Select the Email account radio button and click Next. The Identity screen appears.
5 Enter your full name in the Your Name field. Enter your full Gmail email address (<email address hidden>) in the Email Address field, and click Next.
6 Select IMAP as the type of incoming server you are using. Enter imap.gmail.com in the Incoming Server field.
etc.

Expected result:
Just select Tools > Account Settings > Add Account > Gmail and then select IMAP or POP access

Furthermore, this should also set the locations for special folders (Drafts, Deleted, Sent).

In the case of sent mail, I believe IMAP should only be used to store a copy if the user is NOT using Google's SMTP server (which does it for you). For example, I have to use my home ISP's SMTP server, so I do need to record sent mail by recording a copy with IMAP.

However, in my opinion the amateur end-users won't know what SMTP servers are, much less set them to something else. So since the wizard is meant to be as user-friendly as possible, maybe the default Gmail settings should still be set.

And there should be a list of notes somewhere on Google which says what IMAP features Gmail doesn't support.

I'm still on the fence about it, but according to (around the middle of) http://lifehacker.com/software/geek-to-live/turn-thunderbird-into-the-ultimate-gmail-imap-client-314574.php Gmail's opinion is that using [Gmail]/Trash as the trash folder isn't a good idea.

Yeah, still some stuff to figure out here. Ideally, and given the model they use, I would have expected mails that get marked as deleted to show up in Trash when they are "deleted" from the last "folder". Then just using the "Remove them immediately" option would have worked quite nicely.

International folder names could also cause some small trouble, but as I understand it only (part of) those with english gmail UI have IMAP access at this point.

You only need the english UI to enable IMAP. After that one can switch back to german or whatever. But then the Folder names are [Google Mail]/Papierkorb depending on the locale.
The settings wizard should also handle the difference between gmail.com and googlemail.com, because both the server and the IMAP Folder names need to be changed.

FYI.
"search by Message-ID" problem seems to have been fixed by Gmail IMAP.

I was not talking about making that the default for the global folders.

Let me post here my thoughts.
Realistically, the IMAP interface for GMail is very different from a normal one.
It seems to me that ideal client behavior would be the following:

The spam filter be disable for just the Gmail account. For many people Google's own spam features are enough, and TB's on top of it just adds complication. Obviously it should be possible to use it if desired. Either which way, the "Junk" button in the interface should move the message to [Gmail]/Spam.
Ideally, when in the [Gmail]/Spam folder, the Not junk UI feature would be availible, which would IMAP "move" the message to the Inbox folder.

Sent mail should be copied to [Gmail]/Sent Mail only if the Gmail Smtp is not being used.

Draft messages should be saved to [Gmail]/Drafts, and messages in that folder should be recognised as drafts, allowing them to be open for continued editing.

All Special delete handling such as the keeping a local copy of deleted messages should be disabled. Those features really mess with GMail's IMAP features.
The button that sends the IMAP delete button should actually have several personas. When in the Inbox folder, it should be labeled "Archive", when in a tag folder, it should be labeled "Remove Tag", and when in the in the [gmail]/Trash or [gmail]/Spam folder it should be labled "Purge".

A new Interface button should be added labeled "Delete" that simply Does an IMAP move of the selected messages to [Gmail]/Trash. This button should be disabled in the [Gmail]/Trash folder and the [Gmail]/Spam folder.

Finally, a new interface button labled "Tag" should be added. When clicked it would display a list of the IMAP folders, possibly excluding the "[Gmail]/*" folders. Selecting a folder would result in an IMAP "move" of the selected message(s) to the chosen folder.

If all the above were done, the interface would be highly sensible and work well. (Except for errors on my part due to misunderstanding the gmail IMAP equivalency chart). as it stands right now, configuring Tb to do all those things is almost impossible. Some are easy enough to do, but others basically need extensions currently.

That is a bad idea. Tags and folders are very different in Thunderbird. The intended use is, apparently, to provide an interface to move messages between user-label folders, but that already exists. Even if it is labelled "Label" to avoid confusion with tags, it does not provide any new function.

Thunderbird stores tags as IMAP flags on the message.

In other words, the default delete model should be "Remove immediately".

I think all of this can be summarised by changing the Delete button label to "Remove", if the delete model is not "Move to Trash".

An interesting idea, but I think it would be better to allow an accelerator key to modify the delete model. E.g., holding down the 'Ctrl' key could force the "Move to Trash" action.

Yes, but it makes one of the fundamental actions in the Gmail e-mail paradigm easier, and more noticeable. Despite the terminology conflict, any Gmail user will recognize the folders as being Gmail tags, and would be looking for a way to add tags or remove tags. At the very least, having some way to easily add what Gmail calls tags to a message would be quite desirable.

>In other words, the default delete model should be "Remove immediately".
Exactly.

>to "Remove", if the delete model is not "Move to Trash".
That would work. I have a slight preference for the context sensitive labels, but that is just me.

Reasonable enough. It may be nice if the label on the button changed while holding down 'ctrl' so people could have a chance to discover this feature without just hearing about it.

Did you have an comments on making the exisitng spam filter optional for Gmail. (Gmail's spam filters are so good, they are all most people would ever need, so the local one would probably just get in the way). Or about having the (un)mark as spam feature integrate with the Imap spam folder. (So there is a button that a user can push to easily let Gmail know a message is (not) spam).

What about my assessment of the sent items folder and drafts folder?

Here are steps that should help you. Can you please lists the steps you
have been using to attempt and is this a GMail IMAP account?
T this moment in time i don't have an IMAP account but i should have one
by end of day. I would prefer a free IMAP account but i can always hack
Gmail to use IMAP

1. you can use movemail
2. then you can probably specify that as the location
3. maybe you can even set a custom location for Mail for certain accounts

As for Gmail choice not having an IMAP set up would be because Gmail
doesnt support it. Once they decide or are pushed to support IMAP there
isnt anything that can really be done. As i recall Mozilla decided to
have a Gmail option for Tbird-2 just to make it easier to add gmail
account. You can file or look for a bug upstream on this issue to see if
they will impletment this option. It would be nice to have but its
Google that needs to do the work. I doubt Moailla will do it without
Gmail first doing it. Please post upstream links here to we can track them.

Its seen as a wishlist because its a feature request more than a bug
since thunderbird never did what you want it to do so the only way is to
use movemail or change settings.
Since you were able to fix this due to settings that means that is the
way Mozilla wants you to do it. but for it to change it would need to be
found or filed upstream.
