I found a way to reproduce the problem :) Use an arbitrary mailbox (maybe my Dovecot config with mdbox etc. required). Then use Thunderbird (52.9.1 on Mac) to create eg. the following folder (without the quotes!):
"[Test / Test]" This is a space, a slash and a space between the Test in square brackets. TB now creates the following two folders: 1. "INBOX/[Test " (not subscribed) 2. "INBOX/[Test / Test]" (subscribed) I can delete the 2. one, but the 1. one is not deletable, neither via TB nor doveadm command: / # doveadm mailbox status -u b...@bb-trunk.egroupware.de all 'INBOX/[Test ' doveadm(b...@bb-trunk.egroupware.de): Error: Mailbox INBOX/[Test : Failed to lookup mailbox status: Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX/[Test / # doveadm mailbox delete -u b...@bb-trunk.egroupware.de 'INBOX/[Test ' doveadm(b...@bb-trunk.egroupware.de): Info: Mailbox deleted: INBOX/[Test / # doveadm mailbox list -u b...@bb-trunk.egroupware.de 'INBOX/[Test ' INBOX/[Test I can see the folder under mdbox/mailboxes and in mdbox/subscriptions. I hope that allows you to reproduce it.
