On going issue with an iphone and filing emails.

The user has a folder hierarchy in Thunderbird.


Inbox

- Artists
- Artist Name1
- Artist Name2
- Artist Name3

The mail system is using imap.

When the user files an email from Inbox to Artist Name1

The iphone is creating a new folder called ArtistsArtist Name1

So it seems to be joining the folder names together.

We have tried updating the software, switching phones, but the problem still persists.

I have also tried playing with the imap path prefix which is set too / by standard.

Any ideas what else I can look at to find out why emails filed on the iphone are causing this issue.

:confused:

It's quite clear what the phone is doing, it cant see the Artist Name1 as a sub folder of Artists, so it is creating a new folder called ArtistsArtist Name1, but the question is why?

And how to stop this behaviour.
