Unable to get rid of deleted IMAP folders from folder tree

Reported by Andreas Jung | January 7th, 2019 @ 05:43 PM

I deleted multiple IMAP folders through Mailmate but they still show up in read (online or offline) and they just don't go away (tried to restart Mailmate or re-synchronize the account). The related folder are not visible through a webmailer like Horde...so I assume they are physically gone...how can I get rid of them inside Mailmate?

    I have the same problem - any way to uninstall and delete all the files and start with a fresh copy of mailmate?

    @vermagic: I would prefer to fix the issue :)

    You can help me by providing a set of logs like this:

    • Update to the latest test release: Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update preferences pane.
    • Open the Activity Viewer (⌥⌘0).
    • Relaunch MailMate.
    • Wait for the deletion to fail (try to take the deleted mailboxes online if they are offline).
    • Use “Help ▸ Send Server Logs” (reference this ticket).

    Also, the following file would be helpful:

    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages/IMAP/<account>/State.plist
    

    I should hopefully then be able to reproduce the issue(s).

    r5588 did not solve the problem (thought that beta builds enabled + check now would do the same).

    Modifying the plist file manually solved the issue for me.

    @Andreas: Thanks for checking! I'll use the data from you to see if I can reproduce and fix the issue.

    • State changed from “new” to “cantreproduce”

    Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce the problem.

    @Roland: Do you still have the problem with the latest test release?
