Hello
Originally my problem was that I couldn't delete folders, this has expanded to not being able to create folders at a root level. I'm still unable to delete folders at a sub level.
I'm curious if this is a Mozilla Thunderbird issue or a bincimap problem. Thanks for your help
Dan
Debugging info:
Note that I deleted the Maildir before the MUA was started so bincimap created it. This means that I'm starting with a clean Maildir with no previous folders.
Procedure used: 1 Create a folder at the root level called 'RootLevelFolder' 2 Create a folder at the inbox level called 'InboxLevelFolder' 3 Delete the folder just created at the inbox level
This was all done through Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7
Steps 1 and 3 Fail Step 2 Succeeds

My conclusion:
It seems that binc and Thunderbird disagree on what the root level is. When the 'InboxLevelFolder' was created it was done as ~/Maildir/.InboxLevelFolder instead of ~/Maildir/INBOX.InboxLevelFolder. Step 1 fails because binc can't go any higher in the directory tree then ~/Maildir/. Step 3 seems to fail because it trys to move the 'InboxLevelFolder' folder into the 'Trash' folder which doesn't exist because binc was unable to create the 'Trash' folder for the same reason that Step 1 fails. One thing interesting to note is that if I try to create a 'Trash' folder myself in Mozilla Thunderbird I get an error that says the folder already exists and I need to pick a different name. This may show that Mozilla Thunderbird thinks the 'Trash' folder exists at the root level.
The protocol dump shows the communication on the creation of the 'Trash' folder as: 6 create "Trash" 6 NO CREATE failed: invalid mailbox name. This situation means that no folders or messages can be deleted no matter where they are in the directory structure because there is no 'Trash' folder to put them in.
Is this conclusion totally off? If it is correct how can I change things so that Thunderbird will create ~/Maildir/.Trash and think of it as being at the root level?
I was also curious about the protocol dump. The instructions on the wiki say to wipe out the username and password, but I couldn't find my username and password in the dump file. Did I perform the protocol dump incorrectly, or have things changed with binc to where this is no longer a requirement?
