<p>I have the same Problem with thunderbird on Linux.</p>
<p>It looks like thunderbirds imap-implementation is a little bit
broken. Even if thunderbird tried once to get a mailbox, it
persists in the profile.</p>
<p>I have FS-Layout in dovecot. Thunderbird somtimes try to get a
submailbox with INBOX/firstlevel^secondlevel^thirdlevel</p>
<p>Then it doesn't find this mailbox on the server (for sure, it's
INBOX/firstlevel/secondlevel/thirdlevel) tb tries to get next</p>
<p>INBOX/firstlevel^^secondlevel^^thirdlevel</p>
<p>and then INBOX/firstlevel^^^^secondlevel^^^^thirdlevel and so on.
And on each first login, tb tries to get all of them again and
again...</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Go to $TB-profilefolder/ImapMail/ and delete all of the *.msf
files and search for the wrong mailboxes, described above... you
will finde them.</p>
<p>And they are probably also in some config-files in the profile.
user.prefs i think, and panacea.dat i could find them.</p>
<p>Delete all of the entries (be careful). Close and restart
firefox. Good look, the phantom-folders are gone.</p>

<div>We have the same problem, with a twist. When Thunderbird
deletes a folder, it is still shown by the GUI. Dovecot deleted
the folder correctly, and the sunscriptions file is also
correct. Some other times, on shared folders, Thunderbird
refuses to delete; in this case, apple mail on iphone can delete
successfully. This suggests that the problem is in Thunderbird's
code. </div>

Doesn't anyone have an idea? <br class="">
<br class="">
It looks like Dovecot and/or Thunderbird simply
"ignore" sub-folders of <br class="">
IMAP-Folder in Trash/ as they are also not shown
in Trash-Folder. <br class="">
Sub-Folder for INBOX and other IMAP-Folders work
perfect (using <br class="">
layout=fs Mailbox). <br class="">
<br class="">
Why doesn't this work for Trash? <br class="">
<br class="">

Can you try running this as root and provide output?

<div class="">I had the same with Mac Mail.app. I decided to
rm -rf the sdbox file on the master and replica and I won.</div>
<div class="">It was persistant though and I think it had to
do with the following:</div>
<div class=""> <br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I let my mail deliver in yearboxes, which have
many many subfolders, some are just "placeholders". They
appear different in the view.</div>
<div class="">Regular mailboxes are "dark" in colors,
placeholder boxes are "white" in colors (see attachment),
where winkels is the "placeholder" folder and "action" is
the regular mailbox in which mail gets delivered.</div>
<div class=""> <br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I could not get rid of those "winkels" kind of
folders". Only by force removing them from the filesystem
hierarchie.</div>

<div class="">Hope this helps a bit :)</div>
