Summary0003269: Android Lollipop doesn't like non-root Trash, Draft and Sent folders on Email
Description

This is the second bug on my list to make SOGo work with Android Lollipop here. The first is at http://www.sogo.nu/bugs/view.php?id=3268.

Here on my server we are using Dovecot 2.2.18, but a few years ago we migrated from courier-imap. Following the procedure defined at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier [^] we activated a default IMAP namespace so that users won't have to re-sync terabytes of mailboxes all over again. It worked.

I found out the Android Lollipop doesn't like when mail special folders (ActiveSync types 2 to 6) are all inside a default namespace. The Email app won't show most of the mail and Contacts and Calendars won't sync anything.

Fixing this bug was one of the necessary steps I had to make here to make ActiveSync work on Lollipop in my case.

Steps To Reproduce

1 - Set up a new Dovecot with a default namespace enabled.
2 - Set up a new SOGo with EAS enabled.
3 - Apply the patch at http://www.sogo.nu/bugs/view.php?id=3268.
4 - Wipe an Android Lollipop device (I used the Android Virtual Device Manager)
5 - Set up an account and wait for it to finish syncing.

Additional Information

This is the patch I created to test this:

diff --git a/ActiveSync/SOGoActiveSyncDispatcher.m b/ActiveSync/SOGoActiveSyncDispatcher.m
index 83314be..e82ec95 100644
@@ -872,11 +879,12 @@ static BOOL debugOn = NO;
type = [[folderMetadata objectForKey: @"type"] activeSyncFolderType];
parentId = @"0";

  • if ([folderMetadata objectForKey: @"parent"])
  • if (([folderMetadata objectForKey: @"parent"])&&((type <2)||(type > 6)))
    {
    parentId = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"mail/%@", [[imapGUIDs objectForKey: [NSString stringWithFormat: @"folder%@", [[folderMetadata objectForKey: @"parent"] substringFrom
    name = [[name pathComponents] lastObject];
    }

  • name = [[name pathComponents] lastObject];

    // Decide between add and change
    if ([cachedGUIDs objectForKey: [imapGUIDs objectForKey: nameInCache]])

It forces everything back to to the root level. User defined folders at kept where they should be.

I was thinking if we could add support to IMAP default namespaces and completely jump to inside the INBOX. namespace upfront on mail servers that did http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier. But this change is too important for me to even try it.

To make it work another work-around is also necessary. Even after the patch we are still sending something wrong to Android and it causes it to send a wrong SyncKey. I sent the full description of this other problem to the mailing list, but here is just the work-around part:

(...)
Moving on now there is still the invalid SyncKey problem. I have found a work-arround it. After the creation of the accountm wait for it to finish syncing, uncheck sync of Mail, Contacts and Calendar, and then check them again, one at a time, waiting for it to finish syncing. Usually Calendar will take a long time to sync while the other ones will be fast.
