Hello
When creating new IMAP folder with thunderbird and Dovecot configured with the std MBOX format dovecot create a file in mbox format and so it is not possible to create a subfolder of this folder.
If you ask to create a NEW subfolder of the form : TOTO/TATA Dovecot create a directory TOTO containing a mbox file TATA.
Very useful :-)
I suppose the "/" separator is parsed by dovecot then it creates a directory containing the mbox file. Am I right ?
With MBOX, that is correct. You can also just throw a separator at the end, like TOTO/ and it will create a folder that accepts subfolders. Thunderbird is a little buggy in this area though with how it decides to treat them. I submitted a patch last month to help with a bug Timo had found, but of course they haven't done anything about it.
