I think I solved both questions. With Thunderbird one needs to uncheck the "Server supports folders that contain sub-folders and messages" from the Advanced Account Settings dialog. And I guess that answers my question about dovecot supporting sub-folders.
Thanks...
I am running Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 on Windows XP. When I try to delete one of the folders I get a dialog with the following "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Target mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes." I am running dovecot version 1.0.13-6.fc8 under Fedora 8. The output of dovecot -n is below;
[root@www knute]# dovecot -n # 1.0.13: /etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imaps pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd
Is there something to be configured to allow mail box deletion? I know there was a similar discussion this week about users deleting their mailboxes accidentally. Are folders within folders allowed by dovecot?
Thanks very much,
