[Solved] (Webmail) Subfolders broken after carbonio-mails-ui upgrade: defaultView=unknown

Hello @diegoschneider,

Thank you for providing the information. Our developers have been notified and are currently investigating the issue. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Hi @diegoschneider,

Could you please share script that imported account in Carbonio CE 26.5 so that I can try to replicate issue in Carbonio CE 23.6.0 ?

(as postRestUrl doesn't work for any reason)

This is working fine in my test environment:

zextras@tse-m01b:~$ zmmailbox -z -m test0@tse-r07.demo.zextras.io postRestURL -u  https://tse-m01b.demo.zextras.io  "//?fmt=tgz&resolve=skip" /tmp/test0.tgz

Could you please check the command and confirm if it works in your env too?

zextras@tse-m01b:~$ zmmailbox -z -m test0@tse-r07.demo.zextras.io postRestURL -u  https://tse-m01b.demo.zextras.io  "//?fmt=tgz&resolve=skip" /tmp/test0.tgz

It worked! I tried with many -u options, but it seems i didn't try just putting the plain server URL in there, just expected the default to work, as it is a single-server installation.

I think i will modify the script to use this method, thanks!

A stripped down version would be something like this. You can call it as ./import.sh [accountName]

The important bit is that it ran "zmmailbox createFolder [name]" instead of "zmmailbox createFolder -V messages [name]", so now i have them with "unknown defaultView" and can't find a way to fix it without deleting all those folders (and any changes users did) and recreating them again

#!/bin/bash -

mkdir downloads 2> /dev/null

function copy_user() {

	ACCOUNTNAME=$1

	echo ""
	echo "###"
	echo "Creating folder"
	mkdir -p ./downloads/$ACCOUNTNAME
	echo "Extracting"
	tar -xf ./downloads/$ACCOUNTNAME.tar.gz -C ./downloads/$ACCOUNTNAME

	if [ $? -eq 2 ]; then
		echo "Error copying!"
		exit 2
	fi

	cd ./downloads/$ACCOUNTNAME

	echo ""

@diegoschneider get a folder ID that have unknown problem:

zmmailbox -z -m user@domain gaf

Then try this command for a single folder and verify if this will resolve your problem :

zmsoap -z -m user@domain FolderActionRequest/action @id="FOLDER_ID" @op="update" @view="message"

@mgarbo Thank you!

I'm in the process of migrating from Zimbra, and noticed a number of folders were missing from the Carbonio UI. Analysis showed they all have type unknown in Zimbra(!), which its UI can handle but Carbonio's cannot. (All these folders are OLD, created back in 2007 using ZCS 4.5.0, so maybe it was an issue with that release.)

I was looking for the best way to change the type, and the command you provided was perfect!

Thank you very much 🙂
