Re: [Question #232320]: M-x vm-imap-list-folders fails with IMAP error: "server said NO" on Google Mail

 

Question #232320 on VM changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/vm/+question/232320

Description changed to:
M-x vm-imap-list-folders fails with IMAP error: "server said NO" when
issued on a Google Mail IMAP account. It seems that VM doesn't handle
the situation when an IMAP folder that contains subfolder does "not
exist". From the related IMAP trace:

VM STATUS "[Gmail]/Drafts" (MESSAGES RECENT)
* STATUS "[Gmail]/Drafts" (MESSAGES 2 RECENT 0)
VM OK Success
VM STATUS "[Gmail]/All Mail" (MESSAGES RECENT)
* STATUS "[Gmail]/All Mail" (MESSAGES 11893 RECENT 0)
VM OK Success
VM STATUS "[Gmail]" (MESSAGES RECENT)
VM NO [NONEXISTENT] Invalid folder: [Gmail] (Failure)
VM LOGOUT
* BYE LOGOUT Requested

Notice that the '[Gmail]' folder is not accessible via IMAP e.g.
Thunderbird shows the folder in gray.

Any ideas how to fix this?
