When I try to edit nested folders in a webmail, the edit form does not hape proper values selected.
The name of the folder to edit contains all parent folders divided with a delimiter (which is not "." in my case but is "/").
Also the parent folders should be selected but are not.

I assume this is the delimiter issue.

One step closer to the solution:

replace in file "modoboa/extensions/webmail/views.py" line 174 with this code

oldname, oldparent = separate_mailbox(request.POST["oldname"], mbc.hdelimiter)

and line 196 with this code

shortname, parent = separate_mailbox(name, mbc.hdelimiter)

In both cases the delimiter was missing and the default "." was used.
Now the parent folder is properly found and selected but parent folders contain the whole folder tree.
