[TriLUG] trilug mail server -- imap question

[Wing D Lizard]

Yes that is the way I thought it worked ( at least used to work).

Since I've upgraded to win32 thunderbird ( from an old mozilla version) 
it isn't working
for me.  I'm using the default IMAP settings.
 
Currently ( at least for me), 1. folders can't contain folders, and 2. 
folders can't be deleted.


Can anybody verify this?
