[Tools-discuss] IMAP help

[Rob Sayre <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I don't subscribe to most lists I participate in, and use the reply link in
the web archive. But I gather this is kind of annoying for threading in
some clients that other people use. I don't care while I read, as my email
is just GMail slop with hundreds-of-thousands of unread messages.

I filed this issue:
https://github.com/ietf-tools/mailarchive/issues/3631

about the web mailto: threading.

But I thought I would try to get Thunderbird IMAP working only for IETF
lists, as a matter of courtesy, but have so far failed to do so.

Step #1:

My datatracker password was so old it no longer met complexity
requirements. It was in a password manager at least, so I updated that.
Successful.

Step #2:

Configure Thunderbird to check imap.ietf.org

So, this does connect, but I don't get any folders representing mailing
lists and such. Am I missing something? Or is there a setup/help page? I
found RFC 7017 and the brief mention of IMAP on
https://www.ietf.org/participate/lists/.

thanks,
Rob
