I think I have already posted this link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8347018 Also this: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2007090423071517 It contains weird advice but at least proves that the problem exists for *some* people.

I don't have the exact error message from him but it was pretty obvious about a folder "foo/bar/bob" being non-existent or inaccessible. And indeed, it's "~/Maildir/.foo.bar.bob" on the IMAP server's disk, there are no subdirectories for mail folders. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/
