The double quotes in
"$H_PATH/*"
preserve the literal value of character *.
As a result, pathname expansion won't occur and the mv command will be applied
to a file named "*" located in directory "/home/kreme/Maildir/.NotJunk/cur/"
and that should be moved to directory "/home/kreme/Maildir/cur/".
If you want to keep the double quotes because you fear to encounter some
problematic characters in H_PATH, this one should be fine:
"$H_PATH/"*
