Are you sure about this ? In the mutt sources, imap/message.c, there is the function imap_copy_messages: /* imap_copy_messages: use server COPY command to copy messages to another * folder. * Return codes: * -1: error * 0: success * 1: non-fatal error - try fetch/append */ int imap_copy_messages (CONTEXT* ctx, HEADER* h, char* dest, int delete) Indeed, when I copy one or several messages from one folder to another, the server log shows me mutt used a COPY command: - one message: <1219318281<a0045 UID COPY 9048 "Junk" >1219318281>a0045 OK [COPYUID 1219310686 9048 3] Completed - several messages: <1219318299<a0046 UID COPY 9037:9048 "Junk" >1219318299>a0046 OK [COPYUID 1219310686 9037:9048 4:15] Completed - several messages at different positions: <1219318385<a0087 UID COPY 9036:9039,9044:9048 "Junk" >1219318385>a0087 OK [COPYUID 1219310686 9036:9039,9044:9048 16:24] Completed It's all fine IMHO. -- Nicolas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
