Re: [Dovecot] Thunderbird : open() failed with index file /home/XYZ/mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: Not a directory

index it, and then fails.

Hmm. Interesting, wonder why it has been added there.

The buggy entry is probably there since long, and then, for some
reason, dovecot exhibits the issue only with Thunderbird.

The subscriptions are an optional feature. Some clients don't support them at all, and some can be configured to use them or not to use them.

I will ask my user to remove the ".imap/Trash" from .subscriptions,
and retest.

Also have him delete the .imap/Trash file itself.
