I recently was set up to be able to use SquirrelMail as already installed
and used for some time. I am having an individual *user* problem, not an
installation problem.
I created several mail folders. Some I set to contain subfolders, some
not. I then reorganized my entire system for sorting mail and wanted to
delete all the folders I had created to start over. I was able to delete
the folders which were visible in the drop-down menu next to the MOVE
button, which was all the folders set up to contain messages, but not the
folders set up to contain sub-folders.
When I select these folders in the 'delete' bar, in the 'Folders' page, it
allows me to slect them, and asks if I'm sure I want to delete them.
However, when I hit 'yes,' I get an error message saying that the folder
does not exist.
However, the folder still appears both on the 'folders' list and on my
left-hand bar listing folders.
I have unsubcribed to the folders. This stops them from appearing in the
left-hand bar. However, I still cannot delete them. Once they are all
unsubscribed, the delete option says "Cannot find folders to delete."
This is not a satisfactory resolution for me because I wish to create new
folders which would contain messages, rather than sub-folders, by the
names currently in use by the old folders. Because I cannot delete them,
when I try to create a new folder by the same name, I am given an error
message, stating that there is already a folder by this name.
For the time being, I will work around this by resubscribing to the
folders, renaming them with names I don't want to use, unsubscribing to
them, and creating new folders with the proper names. However, this seems
like a ridiculaous work-around. If nyone can tell me how to simply delete
the unwanted folders, I would be very grateful.
Thank you.
It's a shame this has not been responded to - is this not a bug anyone
else sees?
What I can helpfully add is that once you RE-subscribe to a folder you
CAN then delete it.
Ie Unsubscribe -> Subscribe -> Delete.
If squirrelmail could fix this problem that would be grand.
