Dovecot 2.1.10
Client = Thunderbird. Local disks. mbox format.
Attempted to rename a folder, failed with:
CANNOT Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions
I don't understand why this should happen.
o I was renaming within a directory - the attempt was to rename
"Domain Names &- SSL Certificates" to "Domain Names". No directory was
specified
o The reason the directory has g=s is for dovecot - so that the
'mail' group (12) will stick to any files created. I was getting more
understandable permission failures before I added it. Since 's' doesn't
apply to files, I don't see why this should be viewed as a conflict.
o If I chmod g-s the directory, the command succeeds. But then I'm
back to file ownership problems...
