Hello,
i think i find the problem, but i cannot repair it.
ALL messages with error in gnus contain a combination !2 in the file
name.
This was used on Windows for correct working of imap folders, because :
is forbidden.

if i change !2 in :2 (this assumes gnus, i read), the message is
accepted.

But how could i change the string inside the filename from !2 to :2 ?
Perhaps with dired, but i dont know how?

Any ideas?

Regards
Poul

Yeah, I thought that looked suspicious. Did you copy the maildir
installation over directly from a Windows machine? What program was
originally used to create that installation? I suppose this is an
argument for using some sort of export/import process, rather than
straight copying.

Dired has wdired-mode that allows you to edit file names in the dired
buffer as though they were plain text, and then "commit" all the renames
at once. If you have a small number of files to rename or they're all in
the same directory that would be most straightforward. If these files
are scattered through a very large number of directories you'll probably
want to do it in the shell, probably with find and exec and mv.
