I verified that COPY to traditional UNIX mailbox format INBOX works on my
system. Furthermore, a TRYCREATE should *never* happen with INBOX. This
suggests that the destination mailbox name is something other than INBOX.
Can you get a protocol telemetry log from your client? There should be
a warning message prior to the command reading:
* OK [TRYCREATE] Must create mailbox before copy
Do you see that?
What IMAP command is immediately before the COPY? It should be something
like
abc123 UID COPY ##### INBOX
where "abc123" is some arbitrary text and ##### is a number. What is
after the number? Is it INBOX?
Is your copy of imap-2007 the original, unmodified version from UW? If
not, please try the original, unmodified version:
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z
Do you have an /etc/c-client.cf file on your system? If so, what are its
contents; and if you did not create that file and have no notion of why it
is there or what it does, try deleting it.

I just rebuilt my UW IMAP mailserver on a Fedora Core 8 system. I am using
Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 as a client.
I receive mail into my INBOX , can read it, delete it, etc. But I can not
MOVE or COPY a message from some other folder into my INBOX. This used to
work using imap-2004d but no longer does. The error message is "[TRYCREATE]
UID COPY failed: No such destination mailbox." The mailbox does exist, e.g.
as /var/spool/mail/harry, owner is harry:mail, permissions are 660. I even
tried permissions of 666 but this did not solve the problem.
I've spent hours researching this, but am at a loss as to how to proceed. Any
suggestions?
