Zitat von Jan Schneider <jan at horde.org>:

> No, this is at most a missing feature.

Ok, missing feature. Agreed, if you insist ;-)

But the effect of this missing feature is that an error situation (mailbox not
writable) ist not recognized by the program and leads to unexpected behaviour.
The user sees e.g. that he cannot delete his mail but does not get a single hint
why this happens.

> Patch?

I read this as: the developers have no plans to handle this problem, but outside
contributions are welcome.
I myself am not able to provide such a *patch*. To me it looks now that this is
indeed not just a small patch, but involves many changes that would need deeper
insight in the internals of the whole program.
