[Dovecot] moving mail from private inbox to public folder kills the latter

[Tamas Kadar]

Also, it's weird that the mail we have since we migrated to dovecot is 
either 700 or 755, most user's mailboxes are 777, so it shouldn't be 700...

(Yeah, I know, not very secure, however no user has shell access, only 
by mail)

Best regrds
