Cannot remove deleted IMAP folder ("Mailbox does not exist")
1) I subscribe to one of my IMAP folders.
2) I remove this IMAP folder on my server.
3) I get this error "Mailbox does not exist". Because it obviously does not exist anymore.
4) I right click the folder and chose 'delete'. Same error: [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox does not exist"
This is probably because removing a folder also sends a command to the IMAP server to remove the folder there as well. This is kind of annoying. Now I have to recreate this subscription, unsubscribe in Thunderbird before I can remove this subscription on my server. And no, directy removing this folder in Thunderbird (instead of on my server) is not an option as I do other actions on my server as well.
Is this a bug or is this as intended?

Have you tried simply unsubscribing to the folder in Thunderbird?
Folders that do not exist do not show up in the subscription list.
no idea then.
