Hi there,

I have the problem that I'm unable to delete a subfolder (again) I created within a public folder.

I've already read about configuring Thunderbird to delete immediately - which I did. But it still doesn't work.

I delete -> the folder is gone -> I get a TB error message saying "The folder doesn't exist" -> after restarting TB the folders appear again. Maybe someone has a hint. My tip is that I may have a wrong understanding of the ACL mechanism... :-(

Regards from Berlin/Germany Karsten

Here's the filesystem structure in /srv/vmail:

root@mail01.compdmz.local:/srv/vmail# ls -l public_folders/test01/ total 20 drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 23:50 aaa drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 21:45 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 25 2011-08-23 22:19 dovecot-acl drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 21:45 new drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 21:45 tmp root@mail01.compdmz.local:/srv/vmail#

Here's the content of dovecot-acl (there are another ones in subfolder aaa with the same content, inherited during creation):

Here's my configuration of Dovecot:
