Mail isn't collected from IMAP server

[davewthompson]

In build hrev50941 mail isn't picked up from the IMAP server. It is, however, sent.

I have a fresh installation and have configured a IMAP/SMTP server I have on my local network. No encryption. Outlook can pick it up fine.

When running the mail preferences panel from the Terminal, I can see the IMAP connection succeeding, but it never works in the background.

Been looking into the log files when running mail_daemon. It looks like the code *never* checks the INBOX, even though the E-mail preflet shows INBOX as one of the selected folders.

There's actually an interesting little bug here; the INBOX is always seen as being subscribed inside Protocol.cpp:167, but the E-mail Preflet won't set the INBOX as being subscribed because it 'sees' it as already subscribed - even though it isn't.

This was tentitively fixed on my local workstation.

As per ​https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/any-advice-to-start-working-on-mail-daemon/5415/17, the solution is to remove the "

entry.folder.ICompare("INBOX") == 0" condition from: ​https://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/mail_daemon/inbound_protocols/imap/imap_lib/Protocol.cpp#n170
