Thanks for looking at this!
Here it is from the top with every step from creating the subfolder thru
the fail to success without -s, reproduced today:
On the server, in my ~mail directory:
|
||ls -ld Vendors
drwxrws--- 4 tlhackque mail 4096 Dec 18 13:56 Vendors/
ls -ld Vendors/Test
ls: Vendors/Test: No such file or directory
Right-click on Vendors in TB
New Folder
Test
Subfolder of Vendors
[Server restricts] x Messages only
Create
ls -ld Vendors/Test
-rw-rw---- 1 tlhackque mail 0 Dec 18 13:58 Vendors/Test
Right click on Test
Rename
Test Rename
RENAME
Brief pop-up with this text; retrieved from the TB Activity manager window:
The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account
(tlhackque) responded: [CANNOT} Renaming not supported across
conflicting directory permissions.
chmod g-s Vendors; ls -ld Vendors
drwxrwx--- 4 tlhackque mail 4096 Dec 18 13:58 Vendors
Right click on Test
Rename
Test Rename
RENAME
Succeeds
