It's an MBox file that I'm trying to rename, not a directory. | file Vendors/|| ||Vendors/: setgid directory|| || file Vendors/Test|| ||Vendors/Test: empty|| | (Perhaps you missed that I said I created it "messages only", and the config I originally posted showed the file storage is mbox...)

So perhaps dovecot is confused - expecting an mbox file to have directory permissions, when the directory it's in is setgid? At least that's how it has seemed to me all along...

Thanks.

It contains a subdirectory:

If I try to rename the AVendor folder (client is Thunderbird 17.0), I get this error:

  Unable to rename across conflicting directory permisssions
