My suggestions would be to offer some configuration option in Courier-IMAP that would provide for a temp directory to be used when performing moves/copies. In other words, when you move a message from folder A to folder B, it would first copy it to the temp directory (which is on some partition where there are no quotas). Once the copy is successful, it would then delete the message from folder A.

You do not understand. An IMAP server does not gratuitously delete messages after copying them, just like that.


The IMAP COPY command copies messages to another folder.

The IMAP client is not obligated to delete the original messages after copying them. Should it choose to do so, the IMAP client must explicitly send another command that marks those messages as deleted, and a third command to remove deleted messages from the current folder.

An IMAP server cannot assume that clients will always delete messages after they are copied.

This may not be possible if all of this is an OS issue, but perhaps it is

It's not possible because it's a protocol design issue.
