dovecot - Jun 2007 - Can't see public folder contents after renaming folder

Hi

We are using Thunderbird 2.0.0.x (Linux and Windows) with IMAP accounts
against Dovecot 1.0.beta3 on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper with Maildir.

It is all working well except when we rename a folder in the public
namespace, the person who renames it can no longer see the contents of the
folder.  If we rename it back to the original name , the person can see the
contents again.

If we delete the files in the index directory for that folder on the file
system, the user can see the folder contents again.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Many thanks
Rob


Relevant dovecot.conf details follow

-------------------------------
default_mail_env = maildir:~/.Mail

namespace private {
   separator = /
   inbox = yes
}

namespace public {
  separator = /
  prefix = Public/
  location
maildir:/home/mail/public:CONTROL=~/.Mail/control/public:INDEX=~/.Mail/index/public
}

maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes
umask = 0007

Upgrade? Beta3 is *very* old. So much has changed, it just doesn't make 
sense *not* to upgrade. Be sure to read the upgrade docs.

The public folder system didn't really start working properly until about
beta9.  You
need to upgrade to get true public folders support.
