I thought I had just about got the old server to the point of being switched off. I have been reading from the dovecot server for a couple of days, and this evening I switched the 'sending' to the new server as well - but I couldn't get anything out. I got:

Error while uploading message

Could not upload the message dated Wed Feb 1 21:2:56 2006 from Anne Wilson cannewilson@tiscali.co.uk with subject "xxx" on the server.

The destination folder was sent-mail, which has the URL .

The error message from the server communication is here:

APPEND failed: Can't open append mailbox : Read-only file system

I also got messages like:

Error while retrieving messages from the server.

Unable to open folder sent-mail. The server replied: SELECT failed:
Mailbox open failed, aborted: Read-only file system.

I like to save the sent-mail and trash on the server. ~/Maildir has all the folders including sent-mail and trash. I have the same UID on both boxes. What has gone wrong?
