291912 - Thunderbird always creates a trash folder in root, even when another has been specified

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[James Halliday]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2

My IMAP Server was originally populated by Squirrelmail, so I got
INBOX,INBOX.Trash,INBOX.Draft,INBOX.Sent as my default folders.
In Thunderbord 1.0.2 I can specify these folders to be used for Trash, Templates
and Sent respectively. I then wish to delete the folders created by Thunderbird
in my root dir. Draft and Sent can be deleted, but seemingly there's no way to
delete the trash folder in root. I can remove it using another imap client
(squirrelmail) but on reloading thunderbird, it just recreates the trash folder
in root (although it isn't used as the default location for messages I delete
any more).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create Folder Inbox.Trash
2.Set Trash folder to be inbox.trash
3.Note you cannot delete trash folder in root
4.Delete Trash folder in Root with other client
5.Reload Thunderbird.
6.Note Trash folder has been created in Root

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
