APPEND to INBOX when no spool or mbox file exists
APPEND to INBOX when spool exists but no mbox
APPEND to INBOX when mbox exists but no spool
COPY to INBOX when no spool or mbox file exists
COPY to INBOX when spool exists but no mbox
COPY to INBOX when mbox exists but no spoolIn all cases, the expected behavior happened.
So, what is happening to you is mysterious to me. Have you made any
modifications to imapd which may in some way be implicated? Have you tried
the latest imap 2002 development snapshot to see if the problem occurs there?
The only local change is to check for a .locked file when opening to deny read of inbox.
