IMAP GetFoldersTree

Question

I have used the GetFoldersTree function with IMAP but its not returning any folder which have a "/" character in them. Is this a know issue with IMAP component.

Answer 1

If "/" character is hierarchy delimiter (which is very common), this is expected.

All sub folders can be found in FolderInfo.SubFolders collection.

[Edit]

From the logs it's clear that the server is not sending this name at all. In such case there is nothing you can do. This is server-side bug You should contact server administrator/support and report this bug.

Sorry I don't have better news for you.

I have all of the other sub folders fine but if the folder name has a "/" which outlook allows me to put in then the folder with the "/" in it isn't included within the SubFolders collection.

Such folder of course shouldn't be in SubFolders collection. "/" character must be encoded (utf7). Please turn on logging: https://www.limilabs.com/blog/logging-in-mail-dll we'll see if the server is sending correct data. As usual please make sure, that you are using the latest Mail.dll version.
