Description

When a folder has been deleted (not by RC) and via RC I want to empty the trash, then the folder in the trash is not deleted

well all imap servers handle folders diffrently lets take dovecot for example you can not have a parent folder with both messages and folders in it. so for another folder to be in the trash that does not seem like a wise chose because then you may not be able to delete messages. the trash is typicaly thought of as messages only.

With respect, I disagree. :) Dovecot does support parent folders with both messages and folders in them. But this is not an issue of IMAP servers handling folders differently; it is a difference in how clients handle folder deletion.

  • Thunderbird 2: deletes folders when you empty Trash
  • Outlook 2000: deletes folders when you empty Trash
  • KMail 1.8.3: deletes only the messages when you empty Trash (like RoundCube)

RC's behaviour is not wrong, just different. This is not a bug but a feature request. It probably needs to be considered along side other questions like how RC should handle requests to delete folders.
