Original subject: Gmail - unable to view all folders Hi,
I installed LogicMail 0.4 on my BlackBerry 8830 (4.2.x) and I use it for Gmail. It works great: I see my "labels" folders and INBOX, but I have a huge problem: I don't see the other "standard" folders: Sent mail, All mail, Spam, Trash, etc. Is it normal?
I suppose it's a LogicMail "bug" (or wanted behavior?) since with any other IMAP client (iPod Touch, iPhone, Windows Mail, Thunderbird) I see all these missing folders.
Thanks,
- Mike

- Summary changed from Gmail - unable to view all folders to IMAP folder tree does not show unselectable folders or their children
Subject changed to reflect actual issue.
Sometimes (like in the case of Gmail) a folder with usable child folders will have the "\Noselect" flag set. This causes LogicMail to ignore it, instead of showing it and its children in the folder tree.
The fix should be to display all non-selectable folders, along with any selectable children, and simply prevent the user from opening those unselectable folders.

Fixed in subversion, will be in the next minor release. Unselectable folders are now displayed in italics, and while the option to select them still exists, they cannot actually be selected. Children of unselectable folders are loaded and displayed normally now.
It is probably a bug. Its amazing how this seemingly simple part of IMAP has actually required me to deal with all sorts of special cases for different mail servers.
Are those "special folders" part of the mail client itself, or something provided by the mail server? (I ask, because many desktop clients do provide local versions of those folders as well.)
Assuming they are on the server, now I need to see what the real issue is... I have a Gmail account, so I can do some testing myself. If they are folders normally provided by Gmail, I'll figure out the issue and update the bug ticket accordingly.
