I am running Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 on Windows XP. When I try to delete
one of the folders I get a dialog with the following "The current
command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Target mailbox
doesn't allow inferior mailboxes." I am running dovecot version
1.0.13-6.fc8 under Fedora 8. The output of dovecot -n is below;
[root at www knute]# dovecot -n

Is there something to be configured to allow mail box deletion? I know
there was a similar discussion this week about users deleting their
mailboxes accidentally. Are folders within folders allowed by dovecot?
Thanks very much,

With Thunderbird one needs to uncheck the "Server supports folders that contain sub-folders and messages" from the Advanced Account Settings dialog. And I guess that answers my question about dovecot supporting sub-folders. Thanks...> I am running Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 on Windows XP.
