Hello,
Here is a 'me too' somewhat like:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-January/010759.html
Example scenario:
/u/username/Mail/subfolder/somebox
subfolder is a directory
somebox is a mbox
When I use Thunderbird's "Delete folder" function on the somebox the
message appears:
"Target mailbox doesn't allow inferiour mailboxes".
Thunderbird, by default, tries to move it to Trash instead of deleting
it directly.
When I change the preference to "Remove it immediately" it works.
Which component is at fault here:
- limitation of a mbox only setup?
- thunderbird should know
- limitation of the imap protocol to advice the client it's mbox backed
- feature of dovecot, could it be fixed or worked around somehow
