At least in Thunderbird (and presumably Seamonkey), you can configure
the mail client to:
1) delete mail immediately (instead of moving to trash);
2) not use subfolders.
#1 is on the Server Settings tab ("When I delete a message..."). #2 is
on the Advanced settings from that same page ("Server supports folders
that contain folders...").

Makes sense. Any solutions other then using a different MUA? Scott Silva wrote: folder. But if you are using mbox, you can't do that, because the trash folder is also mbox so it errors out. Thunderbird does the same thing if told to delete to the server side trash.

[Dovecot] target doesn't allow inferior mailboxes
Using Seamonkey as my email client, and IMAP to check mail. If I create a new IMAP folder, and then delete it, I get the error: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Target mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes. Tried a google search, didn't really come up with anything. I have rw permissions on /home/awilliam/Mail/* and delete the files fine using rm -rf /home/awilliam/Mail/whatever and editing the folder out of .subscriptions. Any ideas?
