Hi list, I have problem with deleting sub-folder. I use thunderbird 8.0 as a client and dovecot 2.0.9 with imap protocol as a server. I use dovecot with tb-extra-mailbox-sep parameter. I use mbox mailboxes and thunderbird with *not checked* option 'server supports folders that contain sub-folders and messages' so when I create sub-folder I can choose between 'folders only' and 'messages only'. When I try to delete 'parent' folder which contain 'messages only' folder, error message appear: [ALREADYEXISTS] Mailbox has children, delete them first. Ok, so I delete 'message only' folder first and try to delete parent folder, but the same error appear: [ALREADYEXISTS] Mailbox has children, delete them first. When I list mailboxes from console I see inside 'parent' folder ".imap" folder. When I delete .imap folder from console and then delete parent folder from thunderbird, parent folder is deleted correctly. Which application create this ".imap" hidden folder and how solve this problem. Thanks

I tried with v2.0.16 and it works ok, so I have probably fixed this since v2.0.9.
