I think they said 3.0.8, which is not the latest 3.0, but I also don't think anything about replication/subscriptions/etc has changed since then, so it might as well be

It would also be very interesting to know whether the master and replica definitely both have the same value for "unixhierarchysep". I don't think it should matter? But maybe there's a bug hiding there that's making it matter.

It’s a generally happening thing with rename of folders inside the own hierarchy inside the own user… (don’t really know if a rename mailbox for changing partition would have the same issue). Not something related to the Trash folder...
