I believe this kind of move is not, in essence, a copy/delete but simply a rename. That's why it happens so quickly. Seems to make sense that the IMAP server cannot simply initiate a rename and automagically have all of the supporting databases correctly updated. It needs to do a real copy/delete like mv would if you were moving between partitions. --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
