dovecot - Aug 2016 - Dovecot & Thunderbird on shared mbox

Occasional error from TB when selecting a dovecot's shared mbox:

"Unable to open the summary file for [shared]"
"Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long."

The server's disk is clear, and the longest full path is [a-zA-Z\/\.]{46}.

The error occurs occasionally.

Hi!

Is there anything in your server's logfiles?

Dovecot's log (mail_debug=yes) is clear.
The error occurs systematically on a shared mbox with subfolders: selection of
subfolders is ok, selection of the root shared folder triggers the error. the
root shared folder does not contain any mail, which is a wanted feature.
