Hello
When creating new IMAP folder with thunderbird and Dovecot
configured with the std MBOX format dovecot create a file in
mbox format and so it is not possible to create a subfolder of
this folder.
If you ask to create a NEW subfolder of the form : TOTO/TATA
Dovecot create a directory TOTO containing a mbox file TATA.
Very useful :-)
I suppose the "/" separator is parsed by dovecot then it creates
a directory containing the mbox file. Am I right ?
With MBOX, that is correct.
You can also just throw a separator at the end, like TOTO/ and it will
create a folder that accepts subfolders. Thunderbird is a little
buggy in this area though with how it decides to treat them.
I submitted a patch last month to help with a bug Timo had found, but
of course they haven't done anything about it.
