mbox or maildir? What OS?

Try talking IMAP protocol directly: 1 login user pass 2 create mailbox/name Are you sure it's because of the mailbox name length? Maybe there's something else wrong in the name? The hardcoded mailbox length is 512 characters. With Maildir++ it's typically 255 characters because of OS/filesystem limits.
