BUG - DELETE Public/Folder not working with Thunderbird

16 Sep 2016


      Hi,
Unfortunately it looks like the parameter: "imap_client_workarounds =
tb-extra-mailbox-sep" does not work. Neither inside nor outside
"protocol imap {}" configuration section. ACLs are set correctly. Manual
"DELETE Public/Test" via telnet is working as expected. Is this a known bug?
See:

imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep tb-lsub-flags
