[Dovecot] Problems executing dovecot.

Hello, I am running OS: Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS dovecot # 1.0.7 Beta

Problem: I have all the email delivery set up with maildir. I currently have an account which has 297,261 emails in the Inbox.

Here is a transcript of a telnet session with the server:

• OK Dovecot ready. 110 login somelameuser lameuserspass 110 OK Logged in. 111 select inbox
• FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)
• OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Flags permitted.
• 297261 EXISTS
• 149522 RECENT
• OK [UNSEEN 1] First unseen.
• OK [UIDVALIDITY 1188426666] UIDs valid
• OK [UIDNEXT 301157] Predicted next UID 111 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed.

112 copy 1:100 toBeProcessed

Connection to host lost.

I keep getting dropped...

My original idea was to move the files via command prompt, but I wasn't sure if that was allowed, thought I might mess up the UIDs.

How could I move the emails into other directories (folders) so that a regular IMAP conector can process the emails?

Thanks for your help Marcelo
