Concerning the problem of copying within one folder...
I'm still not sure it's not a problem I created myself,
No, it's with mbox too.
but I think it's caused by the use of the buffered IO routines in ostream-file.c ... you use io_add() to schedule write operations for later while simultanously reading new chunks from the very same file. This seems to confuse dovecot and make it write the copy to the strangest locations. I think when working within one folder I should use either blocking IO or a lot of calls to o_stream_flush()... what do you think?
I think it is using blocking I/O? I'm not actually sure if Dovecot ever really uses the io_add() there anymore..
mbox-save.c: ctx->output = o_stream_create_file(ibox->index->mbox_fd, default_pool, 4096, FALSE); o_stream_set_blocking(ctx->output, 60000, NULL, NULL);
