Hi Bron -
Just a quick clarification:
- The folder exists
- The subscription exists
- The ACLS on the folder correspond to full permissions for the user:
pgoetz@www:~$ cyradm --user administrator localhost
verify error:num=18:self signed certificate
IMAP Password:
localhost>
localhost> lam user/djones/Archives\ Staff
djones lrswipkxtecd
localhost>
However, after the upgrade to 2.5.3 from 2.4.17 the user can no longer
access this folder or the sub-folders under it. In Thunderbird, he can
see the folders, but they are grayed out; in Roundcube they aren't
visible. I thought it might be an MUA issue and ask him to delete his
local Thunderbird configuration/data, but that didn't resolve the problem
He also has a few other folders with similar problems; i.e. in one case
the folder name isn't grayed out, but the messages in the folder are
invisible. Clicking on the folder using Thunderbird he gets an error
message "the action cannot be completed because the account does not
exist" or something like this.
I'm completely mystified at how such a state can exist. When I go to
the physical mail spool the folders and messages are definitely all there.

Yeah, I saw it there and almost replied, but I got busy with a support ticket
and forgot to get back to you.
I recently upgraded from 2.4.17 to 2.5.3. This went more of less
smoothly; however, one user appears to have lost access to some of his
mail sub-folders. They're grayed out in Thunderbird and don't even show
up when using Roundcube.
Someone on the info list suggested that I check the user's subscription
list, where I noticed this:
user.djones.Archives Staff
user.djones.Archives Staff.1Amy Smith
user.djones.Archives Staff.David Jones
user.djones.Archives Staff.Delia Burton
user.djones.Archives Staff.Drew Patterson
user.djones.Archives Staff.Eleanor Smythe
user.djones.Archives Staff.Former Staff
user.djones.Archives Staff.Julia Moscovy
user.djones.Archives Staff.Kate Ooldfield
user.djones.Archives Staff.Amy Smith
This, by the way, is one of the sub-folders no longer accessible to the
user.
That's OK - subscription items can exist without the folder existing.
The standard basically requires it.
