347547 - Trash folder (With squirrel mail, it seems to confuse Thunderbird)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 182274

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Brent Clark]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060731 Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.5

I find that with using another mail client (Web based Squirrel Mail) and using Thunderbird on the same imap server (maildir format).it seems to confuse Thunderbird as to where to drop Trash / Deleted mail. Therefore my mail gets lost. 

The machine I have ThunderBird installed on is a Win2000 Pro.
The initial version I had was 1.5.0.2 (I think), but I have upgraded to the lastest version and nothing has improved.

I uninstalled Mozilla Thunderbird (twice with 1.5.0.5), and on my imap server (Dovecot) I deleted the subscriptions file and deleted the Trash folders for both Squirrel Mail and .Trash.

I then proceed to install Mozilla Thunderbird (1.5.0.5), and recreate the "Account Detail". I saw the Deleted folder was created and I passed some test mail and deleted the mail. This mail WAS sent to the Trash Folder.

I followed onto subscribing my folders and then logged in via Squirrel Mail. I then resent mail to my account and on Thunderbird selected delete. These test emails were NOT in my Inbox, Deleted, and neither was it in the Trash Folder of Squirrel Mail.

What I find interesting is that, the two clients use different folders for dealing with Trash, and seems apparent to me that is confuses Mozilla. I do find that with Squirrel Mail, mail handling is correct.

If you need screenshots etc to prove my case, please do not hesitate in contacting me.

Reproducible: Always
