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 = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/Maildir/INBOX:CONTROL=~/.dovecot.cont rol:SUBSCRIPTIONS=.subscriptions mail_max_userip_connections = 20 namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / } namespace { location = virtual:~/Maildir/! prefix = !/ separator = / } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { antispam_backend = dspam antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature antispam_spam_pattern_ignorecase = *spam } protocols = imap ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " virtual" }
