IMAP folders automatically created that can't be deleted

[stormy]

With version 11.48, I have some new mailboxes Junk and Archive that can't be deleted. Even deleting them from the command line, they are instantly recreated.

I think this has something to do with iOS autoconfigure. I can't configure my mail in iOS to choose any folder other than Archive for archiving emails. If I make a change, it doesn't stick.

I tried turning off Autoconfigure/Autodiscover but it didn't fix the issue. Any ideas?

Hello

Dovecot and Courier are now configured to inform mail clients of special IMAP folders such as Trash, Junk, Sent, and Archive. They are configured to automatically create:

  mailbox Archive {
    special_use = \Archive
    auto = create
  }

Thus, it's not possible to remove them (this was discussed in internal case number 161561). I suggest opening a feature request for the ability to delete those folders:

Thank you.
