Thread: Error when creating subfolder [v0.1-stable and v0.1.1]

When I check the roundcube log (when set to log errors), the apache log, and the mail log I don't find any errors at all.

Hi,

I encountered the same problem with the last 0.2 alpha version (downloaded few hours ago)

Cheers.

I'm not sure if it's the same or not as I'm using the SVN but if I select the folder I want to make a subfolder in (click on it) then in the create new folder box it says "This folder will be created as subfolder of the currently selected one" and it works.

The problem is you are using mbox and not maildir.

With mbox when you add a folder you are actually adding a file. You cannot build a directory off a file.

To build directories in mbox you have to do the following and cannot create a directory off an existing file.

Type in a file name using like Temp/it in which a directory Temp will be created and a file it. you can then delete it and create what is designated as a directory but is actually a file.

To create multiple nexted try Temp/Test/it which will create a directory Temp and a diretory Test under Temp with a file it. Just remember that using this the last item will be a file and not a directory which you can name to your liking or delete.

Play around with this a bit and you will get it.

Things to note is that you cannot drag e-mails to a directory but you can to a file. If you understand how mbox this is evident.

If you are using Maildir then you can create directories and subdirectories using the create folder option.

Mbox stores many e-mails in a file while Maildir creates a seperate file for each e-mail.

This does not work on Roundcube 0.3.1 unfortunately


I think I might change my entire mail server to maildir, which I had been considering for some time anyway.


Any other workaround in the short term?

I know this thread is a few months old now but I commented out the javascript validation starting on line 3257 of program/js/app.js:

Code:

      if (name.indexOf(this.env.delimiter)>=0)
        {
        //alert(this.get_label('forbiddencharacter')+' ('+this.env.delimiter+')');
        //return false;
        }

Here's my original post: Folders and subfolders containing delimiters

Hope that helps.
