Hi,
I use Dovecot-2.0.13 with mdbox and Thunderbird (IMAP). I have dozens of imap folders and sometimes I wish to delete several folders:
First Problem:
If I remove a folder under TB, it get moved to my Trash folder. After that I close TB, which also purges the trash. When I come back, the deleted folder and its content is still there. There is no way to remove it with TB. On the server side I see that the folder is listed under mailboxes/Trash and in the subscriptions file, a last line shows that Trash/foldername is subscribed. If I remove that line and the mailboxes-folder, then TB is happy again.
yes , this sometimees happens, manual unsubscribe with/in TB an restart fixes this in most cases, no need to edit subscript file
( sometimes after heavy tests and reconfigures etc i edited the subscript file anyway )
Second problem:
If I have two folders a and b, both containing a folder example:
a/example b/example
I only can delete one folder. By deleting the second one, the IMAP server tells me that there already exists on folder named example.
ok this is a move/copy to trash, there cant be 2 folders under trash with same names
I am not sure, if this is thunderbird or dovecot related, but both problems are really annoying. Am I missing some configuration?
Thunderbird is Ubuntu's packaged version 3.1.10.
just tested with tb5 your first case didnt happend in my tests, but i know it from 3.1.x
Thanks for any ideas and help in advance and don't get me wrong: I really love dovecot ;-)
i am nearly sure this is no dovecot problem, for info i use maildirs
Best wishes Christian
