help by recovering a mailbox - maildir and dovecot 2.2.13
Hi,
an user screwd up his mailbox in such a way, that I dont see how to get it back in the right order.
E.g. in the subcriptions file there is a folder
Studienjahr 2014 - 2015.Pitchingsin the filesystem there this folder is in trash and without spaces between the years:
.Trash.Studienjahr 2014-2015.Pitchingsin the Filesystem ther is no folder
Studienjahr 2014-2015Currently he uses our sogo as email client ant there are some folders to showing up but some are empty, some cant be deleted ...
So any help and suggestion in recovering this structure is welcome!

A client does not seem to synchronize subscription and folder operation. I would remove the subcriptions file und let the user subscribe anew.
If for instance subcriptions contains a mailbox, which does not exist physically, some versions of Thunderbird shows this mailbox, but as soon as you do something with it, you get a "mailbox does not exist" error. You can unsubscribe from the mailbox and the ghost mailboxes are gone.
