Hi, [this is kind of a "I had an error but couldn't find the solution on the internet so I digged, found the error, and am now reporting it in order to -who knows- maybe help others" message]

Just to be clear - this problem is not at all solved. I cannot move nnimap mail from a subfolder to a containing folder without an "IO error reading ..." error. Any thoughts appreciated. thx c -------------------------------------- I had a very similar problem, using p4.el <URL: http://p4el.sourceforge.net/> Description: Whenever I tried to do a p4-submit (i.e., committing changes to the p4 server), this error would occur. Since I didn't find relevant enough information about the problem, and how to solve it, I had to do some debugging in the p4.el code. The problem was: I had set, in my _.bashrc_, the *P4CONFIG* environment variable *to an empty string* , and the p4.el code expected the environment variable to be set to a sensible value, or not to be set at all: ------snip------ (defun p4-find-p4-config-file () (let ((p4config (getenv "P4CONFIG")) (p4-cfg-dir (cond ((p4-buffer-file-name) (file-name-directory (file-truename (p4-buffer-file-name)))) (t (file-truename default-directory))))) (if (not p4config) ; <-------------- that was failing, and we instead of returning 'nil', emacs entered the 'let' statement.. nil (let ...) ------/snip------ Hope that might help others who would face a similar problem..
