Hi folks,

I've got a problem between Thunderbird 3.0 and Dovecot imapd version 1.2.9. Configuration:

# 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32.2 x86_64 Debian squeeze/sid log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_privileged_group: mail mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

Please note the "LAYOUT=fs" and "seperator: /". AFAICS Dovecot refuses to remove a folder with '/' inside or at the end.

Sample session (extracted from Thunderbird log file):

5 list "" "Trash/*"

• LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Trash/"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash/subfolder2delete" 5 OK List completed. 6 list "" "Trash/subfolder2delete/*"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash/subfolder2delete/" 6 OK List completed. 7 delete "Trash/subfolder2delete/" 7 NO [CANNOT] Invalid mailbox name

I was pretty sure that this is a bug in Thunderbird, so I had created https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537626 . Unfortunately the Thunderbird developers are not convinced.

Maybe somebody on this list can comment on this?

Many thanx

Harri
