[Dovecot] Outlook cant delete folders
Hello,
It has been brought to my attention that outlook users cant delete
folders from their mailbox. They can move them around and erase
emails, but when it comes to folders, they cant.. Any ideas..?

Only Outlook users, or everyone? And what exactly do you mean by "can't"? What exactly happens when they try it?
mail_plugins: lazy_expunge
Could be related to this. Have you tried if it works after disabling this?
It doesnt matter if it is an existent account or a new account. If i
create folders at any depth i get the error when i try to delete it
by right-clicking on the folder and selecting "Delete".
Outlook error:
Cannot delete the folder. Right-click the folder, and then click on
Properties to check your permissions for the folder. See the Folder
owner or the administrator to change your permissions. The server
responded: "Mailbox doesnt exist: asdf".
Now when outlook shows the server responded message, it shows the
folder to erase "asdf", however, the real name is ".asdf", would that
have something to do with it..? Or does Dovecot takes care of the dot
"."..?
The mailbox certainly exists: # ll total 68 drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:41 .INBOX.cvn drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:41 .INBOX.zxcv drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:41 .Junk E-mail drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:41 .asdf drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:41 .asdf.bnsdf drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:41 .asdf.sxcv drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:41 .dfhfgh drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:41 .rturtuy drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:41 .yomaam drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:41 .zxcv drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:40 cur -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 17 Mar 4 08:40 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 8 Mar 4 08:41 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 0 Mar 4 08:40 dovecot-uidvalidity.49ae92ce -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 232 Mar 4 08:40 dovecot.index.log drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:40 new -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 86 Mar 4 08:41 subscriptions drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 4 08:40 tmp
