Package: icedove
Version: 38.1.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #765749

Steps to reproduce are not 100% reliable:

- With View > Folder > Unified selected,
- Open an MS Exchange Server IMAP account
- Delete a subfolder (was Projects > 068)
- Open Trash
- A passive error dialog shows:
  - "The current operation on '068' did not
    succeed. The mail server for account barmstr...@dymaxion.ca
    responded: Trash/068 doesn't exist"
  - Message varies. Sometimes the server calls it 'Trash^068'. I can't
    seem to find the pattern here.
- Restart icedove
- I know that at least once after I did this, the folder pane was
  empty after restarting icedove. However, in subsequent tests I
  couldn't reproduce it anymore. Unfortunately, I might have destroyed
  my reproducible case by emptying the Trash at one point, as I can
  no longer reproduce the issue throwing away other folders.
- Sometimes after throwing away a folder, it still appears in the
  folder list in its original location, only greyed out and italicized.
  A second attempt to throw it away succeeds.

So something (or maybe multiple things) about MS Exchange IMAP
relating to folder deletion is very flaky and seems to contribute to
this bug.

Hope this helps.

Ben
