I've got a number of public mailboxes configured for my users. We pretty much have to use Entourage for a client, which insists on creating all new subfolders with the name 'Untitled Folder'. When they try to rename these subfolders with useful names, Dovecot returns
A028 NO [CANNOT] Renaming not supported across non-private namespaces.
I guess this is because renaming a subfolder could potentially break subscriptions for other users? Or is it a hard requirement from IMAP RFC?
If the former, is the problem merely very complicated, but eventually fixable, or is it just intractable?
We're using Dovecot 2.0.7 from the atrpms RPM, Redhat EL 5.0. The public mailbox namespace is configured with:
namespace { type = public prefix = Public/ separator = / hidden = no list = yes inbox = no subscriptions = no location = maildir:/data/imapmail/public:LAYOUT=fs }
