[Dovecot] Thunderbird and Trash folder
Hello,
I have my problems with the Trash folder in thunderbird. Most of the times (it did work, but only for a short period) Thunderbird is not considering the "Trash" folder (or in my case the "Papierkorb") as the trash folder. The symbol disappears and I am not able to delete folders. Deleted emails are disappearing at all.
The usual Google solutions like maildir vs. mbox doesn't help a lot, I am using maildir and the directory structure looks fine. I noticed that I have two trash folders, one with "INBOX.", one without. That may be a problem with Squirrelmail, because I am using both Thunderbird and Squirrelmail.
Any idea to solve this issue with Thunderbird ?
Thank you, Stonki

yes, you have to sync your squirrelmail setup to the thunderbird imap standart folder layout ( can be easy done), having two trashes will confuse Tb i think but for detailed debug show your dovecot config specially your namespace layout

I can confirm that two trash folders seems to confuse Thunderbird. After removing one of them and setting up Squirrelmail the same way as thunderbird (Trash instead of INBOX.Trash in Squirrelmail, no Prefix in Thunderbird) everything seems to work fine...
