[Bug 862677] [NEW] Can no longer create IMAP folders

 

Public bug reported:

Recent versions of evolution took away the ability to create IMAP
folders. This seemed to work with some versions of 3.x, but this has
been broken for (at least) a few weeks. My IMAP configuration has not
changed and I do not see any errors on the IMAP server.

Steps to reproduce:
1. connect to an IMAP server (in my case, dovecot on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS)
2. Right-click on the Inbox for the IMAP account (can also do 'File/New/Mail Folder' or 'New/Mail Folder'-- none work)
3. select 'New folder...'
4. At this point I am presented with the 'Create FOlder' dialog box, but under 'Specify where to create the folder' I only have 'On the computer' and 'Search Folders'

Right now I have to create folder on the server for them to show up in
evolution, but this is highly undesirable.
