It'd still be broken then, even if the breakage was "like before". Let's see the cases when this could happen: - You screwed up with ACLs, fix them - You screwed up something locally behind the IMAP protocol, so you must be able to rename the folder locally as well. If mailboxes were accessed only with IMAP protocol, that situation simply couldn't happen.
