[Dovecot] Erroneous operation not permitted when deleting mailbox with mdbox
I'm seeing the following error in our logs when removing mailboxes (we are
using mdbox and dovecot 2.1.8):
Aug 1 20:03:36 msgsrv dovecot: imap(test at test.com): Error:
stat(/mailstore/domains/test.com/test/mdbox/mailboxes/Spam) failed: Operation
not permitted
Aug 1 20:03:36 msgsrv dovecot: imap(test at test.com): Mailbox deleted: Spam
When I run truss against the process it appears the error relates to attempted
unlink of a directory, not a stat of it, as reported by the log. However the
mailbox does appear to be deleted fine, so it appears to be an erroneous error.
Here is the truss output from the "3 DELETE INBOX.Spam" IMAP command:

However the mailbox does appear to be deleted fine, so it appears to be an erroneous error.Fixed: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/8029f1b4afd0
