Kube not detecting INBOX folder (Fastmail)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Unfortunately, Kube doesn't detect the INBOX folder but only the Sent, Drafts, Trash, etc folders with my Fastmail account set up in Kube.

Could this be an issue with needing to set root folder path?

How does this problem show up? I get my INBOX just fine and a "sinksh list folder" gives me an INBOX folder with a specialpurpose value of "inbox".

I have the same issue for an imap account on mailbox.org (using the macOS build of Kube) with the Inbox simply not showing in the list of folders.

at least on mailbox.org there is the problem that INBOX is not subscribed by default (which seems like a weird choice).
To counter that kube now ignores the subscription state for inbox and always enables it.
Building a new macos image is still pending.

given that I've tested fastmail and we have not recieved further debug output (such as from "sinksh list folder") I'm assuming it's also a subscription issue.

https://kube-project.com/getit.html advertises nightly macOS builds, but all I ever get is the same July 7 build. What gives? I want to try the fix for the Inbox issue. Also where is Kube storing user data on macOS? I can't find it in any of the usual places.

My bad, I forgot to adjust the download urls accordingly. Should be fixed now.

Regarding the Inbox issue, I've found that some services do not subscribe to the INBOX by default, and Kube only shows subscribed folders.
I think having INBOX not subscribed by default is a very bad default, but I've worked around that particular issue by ignoring the subscription state for that particular folder, so inbox is always shown.

I don't know whether that is the issue you're seeing with fastmail though.

To store the data we're using QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation and QStandardPaths::GenericConfigLocation.

You can find out what that means for your system using "sinksh info". You will have to run into by giving the full path on MacOS, something like "Kube.app/Contents/MacOS/sinksh".

With the latest build reading emails from all folders seems to work fine. Thanks. I am still not able to send messages. Is the username automatically added to smtp?
