Last updated 2005-02-10

Tested configurations

  • Mozilla 1.6 on Windows
  • Mozilla 1.6 on GNU/Linux
  • Mozilla 1.6 on GNU/Linux (debian package)
  • Mozilla 1.7 on Windows
  • Mozilla 1.7 on GNU/Linux (debian package)
  • Mozilla 1.7.3 on GNU/Linux (debian package)
  • Mozilla 1.7.5 on GNU/Linux (debian package)
By default, Mozilla only check the INBOX folder. To check all folders, locate te file prefs.js in the user's profile directory (in $HOME/.mozilla under Unix or in C:\Documents and Settings\bpapillault\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\izdc77b2.slt under Windows for instance). In this same directory, create a file user.js whose content will be: 
// Check for new mail in ALL imap folders
user_pref("mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new", true);
