[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2.11/ thunderbird 3.1 - moving folders
Hello List,
customers telled me problem when moving folders in thunderbird which i can confirm. Following setup on my side: dovecot 1.2.11 with mbox. Thunderbird 3.1 with ready mailaccount and "Server supports folders that contain sub-folders and messages" is disabled.
i create folder1 for subfolders and in folder1 a folder2 for mails. Now i create folder3 on toplevel like just like folder1 for subfolders. Now i drag/dop folder2 to folder3. Thunderbird is moving this folder successful but in folder1/.imap i can still see a folder folder2 which is containing a dovecot.index.log At this point thunderbird shows error-message when i start to delete folder1. It tells: [CANNOT] Mailbox is'nt selectable: folder1. AND [NONEXISTENT] Directory folder1 is'nt empty, can't delete it.
What to do now? Is error on my or thunderbirds side? Parts of my config needed?
Thanks, Andre

Yeah, it's a bug. Fixed in v2.0 now .. but since v1.2's code is entirely different here, I'm not sure if I should bother touching it anymore..

hui, did not expect this is a bug. is there any workaround for me? I think a lot of people would be happy if this bug also could be fixed in 1.2 branch. v2 ist still beta and as ISP you cant switch to new software within a few days, and our customers make trouble. But you are the master.
Thanks, Andre

+1, I'd appreciate a patch for 1.2 if it's not a total pain to fix.
I don't see us being able to go to 2.0 until after it's been out of beta for a few months. I hate to see the 'current' branch being deprecated before we have a workable 'stable' alternative to upgrade to. I can see saying no to fixes for 1.0 and 1.1, but there are a fair number of folks that don't feel comfortable running beta releases in production.

2.0.rc1 will be out this week, maybe tomorrow.
And this bug has probably existed for years, and this is the first time someone's noticed it. So I don't think it's such a huge deal for most people.
But maybe I'll try to do some kind of a backport once rc1 is out.

Looks like the bug was different than what I thought (v2.0 had a different bug). Fixed now: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/4af00b22a466
