[Dovecot] User tries to move folder, then looses it

[Spyros Tsiolis]

Hello,

Well, this is kind of difficult to explain.
I have this user that keeps making mistakes on his pc and sometimes I don't know if I should
believe her or not.

Anywhoo, this time round, she managed to loose  a whole folder on Thunderbird.
She claims she tried to move the folder from a tree directory structure (see : sub-sub-folder)
she created for herself to another place underneath "root".

Additionaly, she managed to mangle things up since she used on TB characters like 

"/"  "\" and "&" . So thunderbird refuses to access those sub-folders on the folder tree
and I cannot rename them (in order to have later access).

Here's dovecot info :
