I forgot to write:
- this is with dovecot 1.1.2
- this is not specific to INBOX: when saving a message from a folder to
the same folder, Alpine complaints with the message
[Can't copy mails inside same folder ]
- the debug journal of Alpine shows, with a 'news' folder:
IMAP DEBUG 09:46:05 8/20: 0900000b COPY 100 news
IMAP DEBUG 09:46:05 8/20: 0900000b NO Can't copy mails inside same mailbox
- a quick grep shows this is 'normal' behaviour, as written in
src/lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox-save.c
if (mbox->mbox_lock_type == F_RDLCK) {
/* FIXME: we shouldn't fail here. it's just
a locking issue that should be possible to
fix.. */
mail_storage_set_error(storage,
MAIL_ERROR_NOTPOSSIBLE,
"Can't copy mails inside same mailbox");
return -1;
}
