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.
Hi Christian,
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Clients#Thunderbird
protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep }
That should also solve your second problem.
I have a new strange problem and maybe it has to do with the same original problem: After adding the "workaround" feature to imap, this happens:
- In thunderbird I delete a folder
- Closing TB
- Starting TB again
- TB tells me that it can not find the folder a/b/example anymore
The latter is interesting, as I had deleted it with TB once before.
Even if I drag the folder directly to the trash and verify that it really is in there, the steps are the same as described in my short list above.
Thanks in advance Christian
