[Dovecot] Bug? Folder tree confusion
Can anyone else confirm this behaviour:
o Open an IMAP mailbox o Make a new folder (foo/) o Make another new folder under foo (foo/bar) o Delete foo o Bar will go away and foo will remain (Outlook bug ?) o Try and delete foo, you won't be able to because Dovecot thinks foo is not empty and Outlook thinks it is.
This is using Dovecot 0.99.10-rc2 and MS Outlook 2000.
Don't know if a bug lies within here somewhere (not nessarily in Dovecot), just something I noticed while playing around.
Thanks,

mbox? My Outlook 2000 asks "All subfolders will be deleted also. Are you sure you wish to delete folder xyz?" (translation from finnish). Answering yes will do that and it seems to work fine.

Yes, I see a similar behaviour. Deletion works for me, but not if I create a real mbox-file test in the directory foo/bar before. This is because we will have a empty directory foo/bar/.imap after deleting test.
Dovecot response with (output of ngrep):
T 192.168.0.1:32831 -> 192.168.0.90:143 [AP]
263 DELETE foo/bar/test..
#
T 192.168.0.90:143 -> 192.168.0.1:32831 [AP]
263 OK Delete completed...

T 192.168.0.1:32831 -> 192.168.0.90:143 [AP]
265 DELETE foo/bar..
#
T 192.168.0.90:143 -> 192.168.0.1:32831 [AP]
265 NO Folder foo/bar isn't empty, can't delete it...
Linux, mbox, dovecot-0.99.10-rc3, sylpheed 0.9.2 & mutt 1.4.1

Must be user error then :-)
