Is IMAP supposed to be case sensitive or case in-sensitive?
Case sensitive, except for INBOX. (Or if the server is using case-insensitive filesystem then they're case-insensitive.)
So what will Dovecot do when both directories exist: .INBOX.Spam and .INBOX.spam
It seemed it would be case sensitive because I've had different cases of folders. But today I found I had two folders "Spam" and "spam", with directories ".INBOX.Spam" and ".INBOX.spam" on the server. Messages existed in each directory on the server and they were different. The messages could be read from Evolution. However, the list of messages had info mixed up between the folders. I then selected all messages in one of the folders and trashed them (click on trash icon). Messages disappeared in BOTH folders. On the server, after a couple minutes delay, messages in BOTH directories were flagged "T". That doesn't seem right.
My guess is that Evolution messes this up.
And it might be confused by odd data it gets due to both above directories existing.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no operation in Evolution to tell it to discard its own cache.
rm -rf ~/.evolution/mail/imap/
Thanks. I'll give that a try soon.
