The test is correct (there is a subtle problem), and also fails on every previous version of Cyrus (the problem has existed for a long time, but has only recently had a test added to observe it), but there isn't a fix for it yet. This test doesn't fail against cyrus master, ironically because the mechanism Cassandane uses to trigger it no longer exists -- but as far as I know the problem still exists on master too.<br></div><div><br></div><div>You can just ignore it, or tell testrunner.pl not to run it by naming it as "!Rename.rename_inbox" or "~Rename.rename_inbox" on the command line.

I didn't read the wall-of-errors in your earlier followup, since you had already followed up with the syslog detail.

I believe they're are stale and need updating somehow, but I haven't looked further.)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div><br></div><div>ellie</div></body></html>
