[Dovecot] Error copying >1 message to virtual mailbox

3 Jan 2011


      I created a virtual mailbox which maps to a single physical mailbox (in
Dovecot 1.x I did this with a symlink but had intermittent problems with
Dovecot 2.0 doing the same.)
However, I can only copy one message at a time into the mailbox.  If I
try to copy more, I get:
7.16 UID COPY 48531:48532 !/Saved
7.16 NO [CANNOT] Can't save messages to this virtual mailbox
whereas this works fine:
10.16 UID COPY 48531 !/Saved
10.16 OK Copy completed.
The dovecot-virtual file in !/Saved is:
!2011-01
all
and dovecot.conf:
# 2.0.8 (cde0d403c6ff): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.18.8-linode22 i686 Debian 5.0.7
mail_location =

}
Thanks.
