The IMAP server I use has two namespaces that I access using Thunderbird desktop. The first namespace is "/" - effectively "INBOX". The second is a public namespace shared by numerous persons. Let's call it "Public" for purposes of discussion.
Thunderbird desktop correctly identifies that I have access to both namespaces and I can see folders in each. On Thunderbird Android (beta), if I "Auto-detect IMAP namespace" it correctly finds "/" (i.e., my private INBOX) but does not see the "Public" folders. If I turn off "Auto-detect IMAP namespace" and enter the IMAP path prefix explicitly (i.e., "Public") it can then see the Public folders, but not my private INBOX.
The workaround has been to create two accounts in T-Bird Android, one for INBOX and the other for Public. This works, but is not ideal.
Either the "Auto-detect IMAP namespace" needs to be made more like Thunderbird desktop (able to detect multiple namespace paths) or there needs to be a syntax that allows a user to specify multiple paths. E.g., "/;Public" or something like that. Maybe such a syntax already exists? I couldn't find anything in the documentation about it.
Thanks for creating T-Bird Android. With the demise of MailDroid I have moved a bunch of users that I support over to T-Bird Android.
