Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/525

Originally assigned to: @tonioo on GitHub.

I removed a folder using the webmail online interface and after logging back in, am no longer to access the webmail interface; instead it throws this error:
Error: ["Mailbox doesn't exist: [Airmail]"]

The original folder structure is like:

|---Airmail
   |---Done
   |---Memo
   |---To Do
|---Archive
|---Drafts
... etc

I can't tell if I am having the same problems as this user (https://github.com/tonioo/modoboa/issues/510) but here are some screenshots of my admin.

Furthermore, the crontab job to handle_mailbox_operations sends and email that reads: NotDefined: Application 'admin' and/or parameter 'HANDLE_MAILBOXES' not defined

You mixed two issues. Can you please add comments regarding handle_mailbox_operations to #510?

About the webmail issue, when do you encounter it? Anytime you try to access the webmail?

Yes, if I try to access webmail as this user with the deleted folder, it gets the issue.
Other webmail interfaces for other users work fine.

The 'Airmail' maibox was a special one? Does this user still an INBOX mailbox?

Can you give me the URL you see when you encounter the issue?

The url is: http://email.fqdn.ca/webmail/
The error is highlighted in red if that means anything. Some other users' mailboxes are doing the same error as I have discovered today, but are displaying a green error instead:
["Mailbox doesn't exist: Trash"] whereas the trash folder on another account is accessible.

By the way, email and folders still work (via imaps)

Your issues with the webmail may come from dovecot's configuration...

Hi Tony, I still need more information in order to help you. Could send the configuration files you use ? (dovecot and postfix ones)
