Re: [Dovecot] IPhone wont delete IMAP messages from dovecot mailbox
Hello! I've got dovecot running with postfix. Have virtual users under vmail folder. When I connect with outlook, I can read, delete messages. When I sign on with webmail, also can delete messages, Mutt is working as well on the mail server, can delete messages.
Once the message is deleted it moves to the trash. Works as it supposed to.
But on Iphone, when I add a mail user, got the mailbox synced with IMAP I can see the INBOX, but when I delete a message, get this error: "Unable to Move Message The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash."

What causing this problem? Please Help.

Do you have a mailbox named Trash? Do the other clients move the message to Trash as well?

In stead of sending us the message from the iPhone, tell us what dovecot puts in its logfile when you try this.

I have got dovecot logging in Debug mode. The only problems I see: autocreate: No namespace found for Trash autocreate: No namespace found for Spam autocreate: No namespace found for Sent autocreate: No namespace found for Trash autocreate: No namespace found for Spam autocreate: No namespace found for Sent
in the config file I have:
plugin { autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Spam autocreate3 = Sent autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Spam autosubscribe3 = Sent }
Something is wrong here...

I've seen this. Fixed it for my device by changing the settings on the Ipad, and then changing them back. Seems the local trash folder is not created automatically on iOS.

With the iPhone there is this guide. If I set imap prefix path to INBOX from / as it says, then works fine. What do I need to configure to get this working with / by default? I Think this would solve the problem. http://www.netchimp.co.uk/webdesign/iphone-ipad-macbook-mac/iphone-unable-to...

you simply need ACTIVLIY to configure ANY mail client using the same account, especially apple
Apple Inc. is the only company which manages to have 5 sent folders over a few months because different devices and different software versions are naming them differently and the same for other special folders too and i you have more than one account go get a nex incarnation wit "special (accountname)"
they are simply stoo stupid for using english words like "inbox", "sent", "trash" and DISPLAY it localized like thunderbird does since forever
if you are using webmail and different clients / operating systems too you have to configure ANY client to the same folders and remove the additional created crap manually
this is NOT a problem of the mailserver
