dovecot - Dec 2014 - Renaming directories with subdirectories over IMAP

Hi,

I?ve a problem with renaming directories with subdirectories.

In root directory I create directory named ?lvl1? with subdirectory ?lvl2?

When I rename directory lvl1 to lvl1-new I get:
1. /lvl1-new with subdir lvl2 but I can use only /lvl1-new and not
/lvl1-new/lvl2 
2. /lvl1 with subdir lvl2 but I can use only /lvl1/lvl2 and not /lvl1

Is it a feature or a bug?

If bug is there a fix?

PS: CentOS 6.6 and Dovecot 2.0.9-7 from official repository with all
updates.

Best regards,
Dmitriy

It's a feature of IMAP that you can have folders with missing parents.

It's a bug of your mail client that it isn't recursively renaming
folders.
