RainLoop
Folders created outside Rainloop are not visible by default
Hi, I'm using a sieve filter for things like sorting mailing lists to different folders according to their Mail-ID header, and a result a new (sub)folder is being created as soon as a message from a new mailing list arrives.
The problem is that Rainloop seems to actively set every new directory as not visible, so each new mail from a new list gets effectively missed from both Rainloop and external IMAP clients (tested with Kmail) until the respective folder is manually unhidden.
I noticed this as I'm running two different Dovecot instances on different servers, which are being dsync-ed together, and Rainloop connects only to one of the two. Thus, if I send an email (with the List-ID header set to something new) to one of the two servers and check back using Kmail, the new folder immediately appears in the the "other" IMAP instance, while in the instance to which Rainloop connects to the folder fails to appear, except in Rainloop "Folders" section, in which it's marked as hidden.
I'm running Rainloop v1.10.5.192 Community Ed on a Debian Jessie host using Apache as a web server.
Let me know if additional information is needed, or if this is an already known behaviour.
Thank you.
Same behavior if you create folder with IMAP commands directly. How to un-hide it?
This is a major issue for my untechnical users. It would be great to have a switch for this.
Hi! I have the same problem, is there any way to disable this behavior?
This is not a bug. Rainloop uses standard imap folder subscriptions. If the user is not subscribed to the folder, it is hidden. If you want to see the folder, simply subscribe to it. You can automate this with whatever process is creating the folder if needed.
