I'm using Evolution and Dovecot (on the localhost) and receiving these errors trying to move a message into the IMAP folder:

C00095 APPEND INBOX (\Answered \Seen NotJunk "Junk" "NotJunk"

Is this a Dovecot or Evolution bug?

Evolution bug. It really shouldn't be sending them in "strings". I
doubt Dovecot is the only server that doesn't accept them. Although it
is strange that it's sending both NotJunk and "NotJunk". Perhaps the
message for some reason has those two different flags set, and
Evolution just tries to preserve them? In any case it's against RFC so
it shouldn't be doing that..
