<br/>
before migrating to dovecot we used local mbox mail storage. The mail client
creates only empty directory instead of mailbox. Now if a User deletes a Mailbox
that is only an empty Directory doveadm sometimes failed.<br/>
<br/>
First it will list the empty Directory as Mailbox:<br/>
doveadm mailbox list -u user | grep ^Trash<br/>
Trash/sent-mail-archiv<br/>
<br/>
ls -l /var/spool/mail/user/mailboxes/Trash/sent-mail-archiv/<br/>
total 0<br/>
<br/>
Buf if i try to delete it or list messages it failed:<br/>
doveadm expunge -u "$u" $delete mailbox "$mbx" savedbefore
"${day}d"<br/>
doveadm(user): Error: Syncing mailbox 'Trash/sent-mail-archiv' failed:
Mailbox doesn't exist: Trash/sent-mail-archiv<br/>
Exit Code: 68<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
doveadm search -u user mailbox Trash/sent-mail-archiv<br/>
doveadm(user): Error: Couldn't get mailbox 'Trash/sent-mail-archiv'
GUID: Mailbox doesn't exist: Trash/sent-mail-archiv<br/>
<br/>
All normal mailbox under 'sent-mail-archiv' was deleted as
expected.</div></div></body></html>
