295080 - Trash is not a valid Maildir mailbox

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Lennart Borgman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When trying to delete a message I got an error saying "The current command did
not succeed: The mail server responded: UID COPY failed: Not a valid Maildir
mailbox: Trash".

This happened when using an account hosted at http://www.powweb.com/. Another
mail server I use worked ok. I use IMAP for both. There is a Trash folder shown
for both accounts in Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select the Inbox for my account on powweb.com
2. In the messages list select a message.
3. Press <delete>-key to delete the message.


Actual Results:  
I got an error saying "The current command did not succeed: The mail server
responded: UID COPY failed: Not a valid Maildir mailbox: Trash".

Expected Results:  
The message should have been move to the Trash folder.

When I used the web interface for the mail account I could delete the message.
It was then not moved to the Trash folder. It was just simply deleted.

I am sorry, but this error seems to persist. I have just contacted PowWeb to get
a response from them. I have seen another message at their web board about this
problem. Probably it is a problem with PowWeb, but I am not sure yet.

Good news I believe. It turned out that there was a problem with the mail server
at PowWeb.com. They fixed this and now it everything seems to be working ok. 

I am sorry for the trouble!

Problem was not with Thuderbird code, invalid.
