dovecot - May 2009 - Unable to delete folder in public namespace

I use public namespace for group mailboxes. Users are able to create
subfolders , but its impossible to delete them. thunderbird 2.0.0.21
complains: "Cant' rename mailbox to another storage type", both
namespaces (private and public) use same storage type, so I believe
that it's a namespace problem.

Is there any way to move folders between namespaces? Or maybe sieve
script or plugin which intercept move command and do the move to some
unsibscribible folder in public namespace.

Yeah, TB tries to delete folders by moving them under Trash.

Not currently. I've thought about adding support for that, but there are
also some potential security issues with shared mailboxes.

Sure a plugin could do that, but you'd have to write it..

I don't really have any good solutions right now, except to use some
other client to delete the mailboxes.
