Earthlink IMAP not working about thunderbird-android

[cketti]

You've probably configured a trash folder. So deleting messages from the folder "Suspect Email" will move them to the trash folder.

Until K-9 Mail 6.900, the app checked the source and destination folder for existence before moving a message. This was done using the STATUS command.

The command fails on Earthlink's IMAP server. From the log:

>>> 22 STATUS "Suspect Email" (UIDVALIDITY)
<<<#22# [NO, Requested Object does not exist]

However, the folder does exist and opening it for reading (and presumably writing) works just fine. Again, from the log:

>>> 25 EXAMINE "Suspect Email"
<<<#null# [FLAGS, [\Answered, \Flagged, \Draft, \Deleted, \Seen]]
<<<#null# [OK, [PERMANENTFLAGS, []],  ]
<<<#null# [2, EXISTS]
<<<#null# [0, RECENT]
<<<#null# [OK, [UIDVALIDITY, 1566965055],  ]
<<<#null# [OK, [UIDNEXT, 6321],  ]
<<<#25# [OK, [READ-ONLY], Completed]

K-9 Mail aborts the move operation due to the "NO" response to the STATUS command. Currently the app doesn't report this as an error to the user. But we already have an issue to add/improve error reporting.

Checking the source and destination folder for existence before performing a move operation doesn't add any value. That's why we recently removed that code. Please check out the current beta version (6.901) to see if that works for you and report back.

@fix4all: Can you please report the bug in Earthlink's IMAP server to them? It should be enough to point them at this issue.

Yes, 6.901 resolved the issue! Shall I simply forward the email to the Earthlink dev's or support with a brief explanation? So, to be clear, is it the STATUS command/implementation that the IMAP server is not compliant with or lacks thereof? Thank you! Greg
