Description dave 2003-04-29 20:55:03 UTC 
This is a follow-on from bug 110937
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110937

When you delete a folder, the directory that contains the folder items
is not removed from the filesystem. Therefore, next time you start Pan,
it re-appears.

Adding the PATCH keyword and marking priority as high.
Comment 5 Christophe Lambin 2004-02-07 06:28:02 UTC 
This patch needs some love: rmdir() will fail, since the directory
still contains the folder's articles.
Comment 6 Charles Kerr 2004-11-09 21:23:49 UTC 
bluesky'ing this; these directories should go away for good when we add the
database backend anyway.
