Unsubscribe to a folder before renaming it, or do not use folder subscriptions.

This doesn't solve the root problem, that is, that when a user renames INBOX.folder1 to INBOX.folder2 the client software expects INBOX.folder1.subfolder1 to become INBOX.folder2.subfolder1, etc.

If "folder1" is a subfolder directory, the IMAP client should refer to it as "INBOX.folder1." -- with a trailing folder hierarchy separator character:

a LIST "" "INBOX.folder1*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.folder1.subfolder1" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "INBOX.folder1" a OK LIST completed a RENAME "INBOX.folder1." "INBOX.folder2." a OK Folder renamed. a LIST "" "INBOX.folder2*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.folder2.subfolder1" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "INBOX.folder2" a OK LIST completed

As you recall, you would create a folder directory by executing "CREATE INBOX.folder1.", and not "CREATE INBOX.folder1", which creates a folder. Therefore, if you executed "CREATE INBOX.folder1." to create this folder directory, it logically follows that to rename it, you would you the same name when renaming it.
