Hi Christian, thought I'd follow up and see if you had any further thoughts on this?
The permissions of the directory are as follows:
$ ls -ld tmpfolder
drwxrwsr-x 2 alex mail 10 Jul 15 11:59 tmpfolder
I can remove it without difficulty just using rmdir.
Again, here is the output from doveadm:
# doveadm acl rights -u alex tmpfolder
doveadm(alex): Error: ACL not enabled for alex
Rights
Thanks,
Alex

What do you get from the following command?
(Substitude the shell variables with your case.)
doveadm acl rights -u ${YOUR_USER} ${FOLDER_NAME}
# doveadm acl rights -u alex tmpfolder
doveadm(alex): Error: ACL not enabled for alex
Rights
It was removed from view in Thunderbird, but not from the filesystem.
It was necessary for me to add acl support to mail_plugins as well.
Thanks,
Alex
