Hello, Here is a 'me too' somewhat like: dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-January/010759.html Example scenario: /u/username/Mail/subfolder/somebox subfolder is a directory somebox is a mbox When I use Thunderbird's "Delete folder" function on the somebox the message appears: "Target mailbox doesn't allow inferiour mailboxes". Thunderbird, by default, tries to move it to Trash instead of deleting it directly. When I change the preference to "Remove it immediately" it works. Which component is at fault here: - limitation of a mbox only setup? - thunderbird should know - limitation of the imap protocol to advice the client it's mbox backed - feature of dovecot, could it be fixed or worked around somehow -- Leroy

I'm not really interested in implementing that though.. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
