Thanks for the attempt to sort this out.
Here is the sequence of IMAP messages (from Wireshark) when I tried to
copy a message from a Draft folder to Inbox.
* 1 FETCH (UID 4 FLAGS (\Draft))..370 OK UID FETCH completed..
371 IDLE
+ Waiting for DONE..
DONE..
371 OK IDLE completed
373 uid copy 4 "INBOX"
* OK [TRYCREATE] Must create mailbox before copy
373 NO [TRYCREATE] UID COPY failed: No such destination mailbox
I don't think I have a "traditional UNIX mailbox", e.g. my INBOX mail is
kept (and left) in /var/spool/mail/harry
I downloaded and built from UW source. I changed only line in
env_unix.c, namely to
static char *mailsubdir = ".imapmail" /* stores all mail folders under
/home/username/.imapmail */
I built using make lnp SSLTYPE=none. Here is my /etc/c-client.cf file:
I accept the risk
set allow-user-config T
# set new-folder-format mx
# set empty-folder-format mx
This looks right to me.
Thanks in advance for any advice, Mark.

I verified that COPY to traditional UNIX mailbox format INBOX works on
my system. Furthermore, a TRYCREATE should *never* happen with
INBOX. This suggests that the destination mailbox name is something
other than INBOX.
Can you get a protocol telemetry log from your client? There should
be a warning message prior to the command reading:
* OK [TRYCREATE] Must create mailbox before copy
Do you see that?
What IMAP command is immediately before the COPY? It should be
something like
abc123 UID COPY ##### INBOX
where "abc123" is some arbitrary text and ##### is a number. What is
after the number? Is it INBOX?
Is your copy of imap-2007 the original, unmodified version from UW?
If not, please try the original, unmodified version:
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z
Do you have an /etc/c-client.cf file on your system? If so, what are
its contents; and if you did not create that file and have no notion
of why it is there or what it does, try deleting it.

I just rebuilt my UW IMAP mailserver on a Fedora Core 8 system. I am
using Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 as a client.
I receive mail into my INBOX , can read it, delete it, etc. But I can
not MOVE or COPY a message from some other folder into my INBOX. This
used to work using imap-2004d but no longer does. The error message
is "[TRYCREATE] UID COPY failed: No such destination mailbox." The
mailbox does exist, e.g. as /var/spool/mail/harry, owner is
harry:mail, permissions are 660. I even tried permissions of 666 but
this did not solve the problem.
I've spent hours researching this, but am at a loss as to how to
proceed. Any suggestions?
