[Dovecot] Sub-Sub-Subfolders not shown after converting from maildir to mdbox

[Patrick Westenberg]

Hi again,

I just recognized a problem concerning subfolders after converting from
maildir to mdbox. Thunderbird and SeaMonkey don´t show folders that are
subfolders of subfolders.

Have a look at the filesystem:

discovery:/var/mail/domain.tld/patrick/mdbox/mailboxes/Folder1/Folder2# 
ls -l
insgesamt 8
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096  5. Sep 23:42 dbox-Mails
drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096  5. Sep 23:42 Folder3

Using Thunderbird or Seamonkey, Folder1 and Folder2 are listed and can
be subscribed to but Folder3 never gets listed.
If I create Folder4 as a new subfolder from Folder2 it works, so the
problem only exists with existing folders from converted maildirs.

I had to use a namespace for the convert from my old Courier IMAP.

Any hints?

Regards
Patrick
