Folder permissions lost
If you try to delete a folder with subfolders from your e-mail box, you lose the access permissions of this folder. The subfolders can be found in the trash, but cannot be eliminated from there.
Our admins have come up with a solution to this together with Open-Xchange support.
Please be advised that our helpdesk is not able to delete these folders manually for you.
Workaround Linux
connect to the IMAP-server:
openssl s_client -crlf -connect imap.mailbox.org:993
Login:
a1 LOGIN username@mailbox.org Password
Get a list of the folders. The affected folder have the attribute "/NoSelect".
a1 LIST "" ""
LIST (\HasChildren) "/" INBOX
- OKLIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" INBOX/TEST
- damaged
If you want to recreate the folder TEST, simply do this:
a1 CREATE INBOX/TEST
If you want to delete the folder TEST, you may do so in any e-mail client or with this command:
a1 DELETE INBOX/TEST
Workaround Windows
Install the OpenSSL package from a safe source as *.exe file.
Open the file. In our default installation the pathe to the executable was this C:\Programme\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\openssl.exe
connect to the IMAP-server:
openssl s_client -connect imap.mailbox.org:993 [Note: in contrast to the above posted linux command, this one lacks "-crlf"]
Login:
a1 LOGIN username@mailbox.org Password
Get a list of the folders. The affected folder have the attribute "/NoSelect".
a1 LIST "" ""
LIST (\HasChildren) "/" INBOX
- OKLIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" INBOX/TEST
- damaged
If you want to recreate the folder TEST, simply do this:
a1 CREATE INBOX/TEST
If you want to delete the folder TEST, you may do so in any e-mail client or with this command:
a1 DELETE INBOX/TEST
