dovecot - Nov 2014 - help by recovering a mailbox - maildir and dovecot 2.2.13

Hi,

an user screwd up his mailbox in such a way, that I dont see how to get
it back in the right order.

E.g. in the subcriptions file there is a folder

	Studienjahr 2014 - 2015.Pitchings

in the filesystem there this folder is in trash and without spaces
between the years:

	.Trash.Studienjahr 2014-2015.Pitchings

in the Filesystem ther is no folder

	Studienjahr 2014-2015

Currently he uses our sogo as email client ant there are some folders to
showing up but some are empty, some cant be deleted ...


So any help and suggestion in recovering this structure is welcome!

	Regards . G?tz

A client does not seem to synchronize subscription and folder operation. I 
would remove the subcriptions file und let the user subscribe anew.

If for instance subcriptions contains a mailbox, which does not exist 
physically, some versions of Thunderbird shows this mailbox, but as soon 
as you do something with it, you get a "mailbox does not exist" error.
You
can unsubscribe from the mailbox and the ghost mailboxes are gone.
