Description Dan Klaffenbach (reporter) 2010-02-11 12:07:31 UTC

The E-Mail client of Maemo 5 should ask the user which IMAP folders he/she
wants to see on his/her Maemo device. It already honors the list of
subscriptions on the server, but a local subscription to just a subset of the
globally subscribed IMAP folders is desirable in many cases.
My S60 device enables me to show just the IMAP folders I want (local
subscription), so I believe Maemo should also give the users a choice.

Hmm, isn't this a duplicate of bug 5553?

No it isn't. Bug 5553 is about server-side subscriptions which the Maemo5
client already honors.

This bug is about _local_ subscriptions (like the S60 IMAP client [and many
others]).

This would be great to have.  I only want a subset of my IMAP folders available
on my N900, especially as there is no way to hide nested folders, yet I still
want to have them available through my other mail clients.

The Maemo 5 User Interface and Maemo 5 platform components (e.g. libraries)
used for the N900 are considered stable by Nokia and it seems that there are no
plans for official updates currently, hence nobody plans to work on this
enhancement/wishlist request. 
(And in case you feel like discussing this situation: Nokia Customer Care or
http://talk.maemo.org would be the place to do so as you will not reach Nokia
officials in this community bugtracker - though all of this is really no news.)

Reflecting this status by setting RESOLVED WONTFIX for this
enhancement/wishlist request (see
https://bugs.maemo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#status for status explanations).

There is a small chance for issues in those Maemo components that are open
source: Contributed patches could be included and made available in the Maemo 5
Community CSSU updates. 
The Maemo CSSU project is run by a small team of volunteers; see
http://wiki.maemo.org/CSSU for more information.
So in case that you can provide a patch that fixes the reported problem, please
feel encouraged to file a request under
https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Maemo%205%20Community%20SSU .
Please note: The Maemo CSSU project is not related in any way to Nokia.
