Can you get a imap log https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging ?

Attachment: imap.log

from the log you can see the folder list correctly and how it sends the wrong select command "Inbox [e-mail]/Inbox [e-mail]"

"Inbox [e-mail]" is a namespace.
> 3 namespace
> * NAMESPACE (("" "/")) NIL (("Inbox [e-mail]/" "/")
>   ("Inbox [e-mail]/" "/") ("Inbox [e-mail]/" "/")
>   ("Inbox [e-mail]/" "/") ("Inbox [e-mail]/" "/")
>   ("Inbox [e-mail]/" "/") ("Inbox [e-mail]/" "/")
>   ("Inbox [e-mail]/" "/"))
> 3 OK NAMESPACE Completed
> 4 lsub "" "*"
> * LSUB () "/" "Inbox [e-mail]"
> 4 OK LSUB Completed

How/when did you create 'sub folder in your inbox named "Inbox [e-mail]"'?

As "Inbox [e-mail]" is a namespace, it should appear at folder as root level folder since initial, and if you created the folder as 'sub folder in your inbox", folder path should be "inbox/Inbox [e-mail]".
Did you create root level folder of "Inbox [e-mail]" before namespace of "Inbox [e-mail]" was defined as namespace at server?

If you are talking about root level folder named "Inbox [e-mail]", when/how did you create root level folder named "Inbox [e-mail]"?
Can you provide IMAP log since clean status(no root level "Inbox [e-mail]" nor no subfolder named "Inbox [e-mail]"), to 'creation of root level "Inbox [e-mail]"' or subfolder of "Inbox [e-mail]" of inbox?

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

can you reproduce this using a current version of thunderbird?

if you are unable to reproduce, please close by setting stats to resolved, and resolution to WORKSFORME or another appropriate setting.

If you are able to reproduce, add new details, and a testcase if one does not already exist in the bug report.

Hi yes 
i currently have thunderbird 10.0.2 (linux) and Earlybird 12.0a2 (2012-03-09) (linux) installed and this is still current in them.

'3 select "Inbox [e-mail]/Inbox [e-mail]"' is executed by following request for root level folder named "Inbox%20hus%40hydra.is"(escaped in request).

Tb perhaps applied non-personal-namespace of ("Inbox [e-mail]/" "/") which is returned in lsub  response of '* LSUB () "/" "Inbox [e-mail]"', instead of personal namespace of (("" "/")) which we want used by Tb.  

Confirming per log.

Do you need full utilizing of public namespace/other users namespace?
If no, "disabling of public namespace/other users namespace" is a simple workaround in your case.
  Server Settings, Advanced button
    Personal namespace: ""
    Public(shared)    : (nothing is written)
    Other Users       : (nothing is written)
    [  ] Allow server to override these namespaces <= Uncheck
Issues in accessing to other user's Mbox for sharing("Inbox <username>@domain") may arise, but I think it's perhaps "write access error" only when you attempted to copy/move mail to other user's Mbox, even if issue in accessing occurs.

FYI.
Following is document for "permission" in namespace.
> http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions
"permission" is done by IMAP acl and file system level access privilege. So, as far as "permission" is appropriately done at IMAP server and ACL is correctly supported by IMAP server, issue in "disable public namespace/other users namespace" is following only.
(1) Tb doesn't know about that "Inbox <username>@domain" is SharedMailbox.
(2) Tb can't ask user for "where folder is created" when user requests folder creation at IMAP account level. By 'Personal namespace: ""' only, folder creation request at IMAP account level is always interpreted by Tb as "creation of root level folder".
