In rc15 and previous, it isn't possible for thunderbird clients to delete a folder in
a public namespace if the thunderbird client is configured to move deleted items to a
trash folder (which is presumably in a private namespace). The error message says:
"Can't rename mailbox to another storage type"
Does this version of dovecot remove that problem?
Thanks,
Mark
