Good suggestion. Logging can be switched on like this: http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/mail-troubleshoot.html So here is thunderbirds IMAP log, the bit where I try to move subfolder to the toplevel:
1004[27090d8]: 25c0178:server:S-folder;subfolder:ProcessCurrentURL: entering
1004[27090d8]:

1004[27090d8]: ReadNextLine [stream=25fdca0 nb=22 needmore=0]
1004[27090d8]: 25c0178:server:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 9 NO Mailbox
exists.
Apparently it tries to copy the folder to itself, causing the error from the server, although I drag the subfolder to the toplevel.. I've tried various settings for the namespace and server directory but nothing helped so far.
Any help is appreciated. Loek

I can move around folders to sub-folders in an IMAP account on my dovecot server, but when I try to move a sub-folder back to the top-level (by dragging it to the account name), I get an error:
"The current command did not succeed. The mailserver responded: Mailbox exists."It doesn't exist on the server though, and I can create a folder with that name on the top-level. But it is a little annoying. I am using TB 0.7.2. I tried different IMAP server settings in Thunderbird under the account options, but without success.
Can TB log the IMAP commands it uses? (Mulberry has this option.) If so, you could post the command that actually failed.
