I'm copying all my archives from one imap server on one machine to the imap-ssl dovecot server on another machine.

After a bit, there's an error that's tossed up on my mozilla client that says the imap server couldn't complete the operation with the message append aborted.

It keeps popping up after anything from 50 to 300 emails.

Last night I was able to move ~12000 emails from one machine to the other without the ssl enabled. Any hints on what to look for?

This problem exists with or without ssl login.

I'm assuming that I either have a really messed up email (it is my spam archive). Do I really have to move 7000 emails one at a time??? :)

This is painfully elusive.

I get nothing in the logs on either machine. :(

When I get the error from the mail client, I find find an email that duplicates the error consistently. But there's no logging on either imap server.

When I shutdown mozilla and login anew, the problem goes away for a bit. But another email will generate it again....

It's only in one folder.

Unless someone else runs into this, I think I'm kind of special...

IMAPSync at http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/dist/

Is there any reason why just rsync wouldn't work?

I only plan on doing this once, and I figured the imap process through the client would be easy while I did something else.
