I just upgraded a server from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot, and I'm seeing some odd behavior. It's probably the result of something I did wrong in my configuration, and I'm hoping someone will let me know the easy fix for it.

I have rules set up in Apple Mail to move and copy messages to different folders, some of which are IMAP folders, others on my own system. With Courier-IMAP, the messages would get moved without a problem. With dovecot, that's not happening.

Here's my dovecot config. I've tried changing maildir_copy_with_hardlinks and maildir_copy_preserve_filename to "no", but that didn't seem to help.

# 1.0.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
disable_plaintext_auth: no
login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
verbose_proctitle: yes
first_valid_uid: 89
last_valid_uid: 89
first_valid_gid: 89
last_valid_gid: 89
maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes
maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes
namespace:
  type: private
  prefix: INBOX.
  inbox: yes
auth default:
  mechanisms: plain login digest-md5 cram-md5
username_chars: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  username_translation: %@
  passdb:
    driver: vpopmail
  userdb:
    driver: vpopmail
plugin:
  quota: maildir

I haven't tried logging the IMAP session yet, but I can turn off SSL, fire up Wireshark and monitor the session if necessary.

Is this a known problem? I'm able to move messages between folders manually, but when Apple Mail moves the new messages it doesn't work.
