It contains a subdirectory:

-rw-rw---- 1 thlackque mail 84805345 Dec  1 10:34 Vendors/AVendor

If I try to rename the AVendor folder (client is Thunderbird 17.0), I
get this error:

      Unable to rename across conflicting directory permisssions

If I chmod g-s Vendors, the RENAME command succeeds.
Where are you renaming it to and what permissions that directory has? I
can't seem to easily reproduce this.


Thanks for looking at this!

Here it is from the top with every step from creating the subfolder thru the fail to success without -s, reproduced today:

On the server, in my ~mail directory:
|
||ls -ld Vendors
drwxrws--- 4 tlhackque mail 4096 Dec 18 13:56 Vendors/
ls -ld Vendors/Test
ls: Vendors/Test: No such file or directory

Right-click on Vendors in TB
New Folder
  Test
   Subfolder of Vendors
   [Server restricts]  x Messages only
   Create

ls -ld Vendors/Test
-rw-rw---- 1 tlhackque mail 0 Dec 18 13:58 Vendors/Test

Right click on Test
  Rename
   Test Rename
  RENAME

Brief pop-up with this text; retrieved from the TB Activity manager window:
The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account (tlhackque) responded: [CANNOT} Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions.

chmod g-s Vendors; ls -ld Vendors
drwxrwx--- 4 tlhackque mail 4096 Dec 18 13:58 Vendors

Right click on Test
  Rename
   Test Rename
  RENAME

Succeeds
