Can't recursively delete mailboxes
Hi,
This appears to be some sort of dovecot bug. When I use the -r option to recursively delete a mailbox and sub-folders, it removes the sub-folders but not the inbox. It gives me the error below:
doveadm mailbox delete -u denise at lifelinetechnique.com.au -r -s inbox
doveadm(denise at lifelinetechnique.com.au): Error: Can't delete mailbox inbox: INBOX can't be deleted.

Can't recursively delete mailboxes
...be deleted.

> Our user database is in ldap and I am using dovecot-ee v2:2.2.31.2-1. Could you please acknowledge that this is a bug or let me know the correct way of recursively deleting a mailbox as there is nothing in the man page about the -r option.
It's on purpose:
if (mailbox_is_any_inbox(box)) {
/* IMAP protocol allows this, but I think it's safer to
not allow it. */
mailbox_free(&box);
client_send_tagline(cmd, "NO INBOX can't be deleted.");
return TRUE;
}
Why do...
