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 den...@lifelinetechnique.com.au -r -s inbox
doveadm(den...@lifelinetechnique.com.au): Error: Can't delete mailbox inbox:
INBOX can't 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 you want to delete the INBOX of the user?
