[SOLVED] How to subscribe to folders (IMAP) with zmprov ??

[Paul106]

I currently use dovecot as my imap server. I use Thunderbird as my email client.
Thunderbird and dovecot use the ~/.subscriptions file to maintain which folders are subscribed.

As I import my folders into zimbra (NE 7.1), I can see them fine with the Zimbra web client. I can not see them with Thunderbird as an IMAP client.

If I subscribe to them from within Thunderbird, I can see them fine.

My question is where does zimbra maintain this list of what is subscribed for a given user ?

I know this is stored somewhere within zimbra, because after I subscribe to the folders
via Thunderbird once, I can move to any other desktop machine and startup Thunderbird
and see the folders.

Any insights ?

Thanks,
Paul

You can get the folder properties using zmmailbox:

$ zmmailbox -z -m account@domain.com -v gf /Inbox

It should show something like this:

{
"color": "defaultColor",
"contentSequence": 1,
"defaultView": "message",
"flags": "*",
"grants": [],
"id": "2",
"imapItemCount": 4,
"imapMODSEQ": 7453,
"imapUIDNEXT": 489,
"imapUnreadCount": 0,
"isCheckedInUI": false,
"isExcludedFromFreeBusy": false,
"isSyncEnabled": false,
"isSyncFolder": false,
"isSystemFolder": true,
"itemCount": 4,
"name": "Inbox",
"parentId": "1",
"path": "/Inbox",
"pathURLEncoded": "/Inbox",
"size": 77377,
"subFolders": [],
"unreadCount": 0
}


Notice the "flags": "*" field. Generally, when a folder is subscribed, it will show you a "*". If it is not, the flags field will be empty or it will have other non-related settings. You can change this by running zmmailbox mff (modify folder flag):

$ zmmailbox -z -m account@domain.com mff /Folder "*"

And refresh your IMAP client. I have tested this with Thunderbird and it works. Exactly what I was looking for.
