Deleting "folders only" folder doesn't actually delete
Hi,
I'm using dovecot-2.3.17.1-1.fc34.x86_64 on fedora34 and Thunderbird 91 on fedora35. When creating a folder of type "folders only" in Thunderbird, then trying to delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from the filesystem. Is this a permissions problem? Or perhaps a Thunderbird problem?
I don't see any messages in the logs that would indicate some type of failed attempt to delete. How do I troubleshoot this?
Thanks, Alex

What do you get from the following command? (Substitude the shell variables with your case.)
doveadm acl rights -u ${YOUR_USER} ${FOLDER_NAME}
Kind regards, Christian Mack

# doveadm acl rights -u alex tmpfolder doveadm(alex): Error: ACL not enabled for alex Rights
It was removed from view in Thunderbird, but not from the filesystem.
It was necessary for me to add acl support to mail_plugins as well.
Thanks, Alex
Hi Christian, thought I'd follow up and see if you had any further thoughts on this?
The permissions of the directory are as follows: $ ls -ld tmpfolder drwxrwsr-x 2 alex mail 10 Jul 15 11:59 tmpfolder
I can remove it without difficulty just using rmdir.
Again, here is the output from doveadm: # doveadm acl rights -u alex tmpfolder doveadm(alex): Error: ACL not enabled for alex Rights
Thanks, Alex
