Mozilla has a reference to this phenomenon http://kb.mozillazine.org/Grey_italic_folders, but this seems to have to do with GMAIL accounts. Mine is a local IMAP server and the link has no apparent remedy.
Furthermore, if I attempt to delete e.g. "Trash" I get an error, presumably from Dovecot: "The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account user@mydom.org responded: [ALREADYEXISTS] Target mailbox already exists." Seem like an odd error when trying to delete.
My theory is that if I can designated these folders as 'subcribed' everything would work normally. I don't know if that's true. I've tried added these folders to the 'subscriptions' file in the user's Maildir folder, an excerpt of which:
INBOX.Directed Brokerage INBOX.Directed Brokerage.Abel Noser INBOX.Investments-Active.Kayne INBOX.Pending - Open Projects Deleted Items.Oath INBOX.Board Info.New Trustee-Oath of Office INBOX.Rule Filing-Rule Changes bpatterson.INBOX.2011 Investment Confirmation Responses bpatterson.INBOX.2011 and 2012 KCR Audit bpatterson.INBOX.2012 Investment Confirmation Responses bpatterson.INBOX.2013 Health Care Changes - Information bpatterson.INBOX.2013 Investment Confirmation Responses
where the 1st 7 listed are part of the user's existing list and the next ones are what I added for the former user's mail folders. This did not work.
Ideas?
--Mark Hi Mark,
Try to subscribe in thundebird via your accounts right click context menu. The greyed out folders may not contain mails (missing .cur etc. suubfolders). Sometimes it is neccessary to clean the ImapMail folder in the thunderbird user profile (as an last resort).

These could possibly be excellent suggestions, but I've no idea how to do what you suggest. What do you mean "subscribe via [my] accounts right click context menu"?
How would I "clean the ImapMail folder"?
