I couldn't find anything relevant between all the debug log lines. Is that in /var/log/mail.log? Here's the lines I think are related to creating and deleting the folder:> May 21 10:36:14 mond2 dovecot: imap(yg@****.de): Debug: Namespace : /var/mail/virtual/****.de/yg/.Test doesn't exist yet, using default permissions > May 21 10:36:14 mond2 dovecot: imap(yg@****.de): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/mail/virtual/****.de/yg: mode=0700 gid=default > May 21 10:36:23 mond2 dovecot: imap(yg@****.de): Debug: Namespace : /var/mail/virtual/****.de/yg/.Trash.Test doesn't exist yet, using default permissionsThat's it.

I guess you have had different version(s) or setting(s) in the past, and you can probably fix this by setting perms to same as the new folders.

Thunderbird (or some versions anyway) will display any subscribed folder, regardless if it exists or not. Dovecot fails to both delete or rename non-existant folders. Checkout the local file "subscriptions" in your mailbox storage. (Close any mail client before). - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEVAwUBWwPXicQnQQNheMxiAQLGFAf/Wzy0BkUBTROoi5qxzk+kjCdLVfpWkuth l5ubst9ktPmMbE1M3TFyL05ovAH1FPn+ebYTYOAS6ge2qrtgZoejzvtOxZ34hCnV gHR7P6fDA/Kj+NCO0xRzS522K/Y42JSgkg1MDGkauiJ4R+RoUabo6Fbi+EToUOGy b/oE8iDvG2toL06zUj1vptpq1kCjNDO3WKfb9DeNJQq186fpudSuz2VaHgr8lpCF zbKooIPPLLn+0QIYPpusoJMz3nAqGNrZC+gKdmdB83nhogUi5jAzwBNGmA9I/5yn g3mx68jM9cdWquHJWpJpgAlvAMys0fqz5dnZx/zNNd6d2X5pYzRRtA==UED3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
