It was persistant though and I think it had to do with the following: I let my mail deliver in yearboxes, which have many many subfolders, some are just ?placeholders?. They appear different in the view. Regular mailboxes are ?dark? in colors, placeholder boxes are ?white? in colors (see attachment), where winkels is the ?placeholder? folder and ?action? is the regular mailbox in which mail gets delivered. I could not get rid of those ?winkels? kind of folders?. Only by force removing them from the filesystem hierarchie. Hope this helps a bit :) Cheers Remko -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have the same problem, with a twist. When Thunderbird deletes a folder, it is still shown by the GUI. Dovecot deleted the folder correctly, and the sunscriptions file is also correct. Some other times, on shared folders, Thunderbird refuses to delete; in this case, apple mail on iphone can delete successfully. This suggests that the problem is in Thunderbird's code.
