Hi,

we're using dovecot2.0 since August and very happy with it. Just recently Thunderbird users reported problems when renaming folders, and it seems that RFC 2060 (sec. 6.3.5) requires children of a renamed folder to be renamed, too. This however does not happen:

Talking IMAP I get:

• LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a"

. rename "INBOX.NNN1" "INBOX.NNN2"

• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2"

There seems to be no problem the filesystem rights, since this works:

. rename "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a" "INBOX.NNN2.NNN1a"

• LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2.NNN1a"

Am I misunderstanding RFC 2060, or is my config wrong (doveconf -n below), or could it be a bug?

Cheers, Johannes
