-Summary:
Missing folders with servers that don't uppercase 'INBOX'

Comment by imp at oak-wood.co.uk on Thu May 20 11:06:32 2004 (today):
That patch to IMAP_Sort::_mbox_cmp() does sort out the tree display, on the
face of it. But I'm not convinced it will be consistent, and it throws up
other problems.

An additional 'INBOX' element is still be inserted. Providing the sort
results in 'INBOX' appearing before 'Inbox' I will see only 'Inbox' in the
tree, which is the way I need it as only 'Inbox' contains sub-folders. But
if the sort reverses the order of Inbox and INBOX I'll see both in the
tree.

The drop down list of folders and the check boxes on the search page now
include both INBOX and Inbox, both at the top of the list, and NEITHER has
any sub-folders showing. These appear to have been moved to another folder,
the neighbour of 'Inbox' had the sorting been strictly alphabetical.

The fundamental problem seems to be that various libraries assume that
'INBOX' will always be upper case, and that if no folder with the upper case
name 'INBOX' exists, one is added to the tree.
