I am running Dovecot 2.1.12 under FreeBSD, and I use Outlook 2010 with imap to connect to my server. I know I used to be able to rename mailboxes, as I do this every year at year end, but when I went to rename some mailboxes the start of this year, blamo up popped the message "CANNOT Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions".

What mailbox format? What are you renaming and where? What are those directories' permissions? Anyway newer Dovecot versions are a bit more strict about directory permissions being same in source and destination.
