Did the users re-save their sent-mail folders preferences after 
migrating to the new server layout? This might be necessary to not 
break the folder maintenance tasks.

We switched our backend IMAP server from Washington University's open 
source IMAP software to Stalker's CommuniGate Pro and today when 
everyone was asked to perform the monthly maintenance routines things 
got a little whacky. The users who opted to move last month's 
sent-mail items into a folder named after September had all of their 
inbox messages moved to a new folder named "-sep-2004". There was a 
warning with some of the users where it said it had trouble moving "" 
to "-sep-2004" because it already exists. One thing to note is that 
our IMAP location prefix (Within WU's IMAP Server) was "mail/" because 
user's IMAP folders outside of their Inbox were located in a folder 
named "mail" within their Linux home folder. With the migration to 
CommuniGate Pro we moved everyone's IMAP folders to the same level as 
their Inbox.



The IMAP location prefix within the IMP server config is set to "" now 
and it works when viewing mail when a user logs in and wants to see 
all of their IMAP folders.



Any thoughts?



What we did in the meantime was disable the option to perform 
maintenance and we logged in as the users and moved the mail back for 
50 or so users.



Thanks,
