I was finally able to resolve the problem by changing the imap_append() call to use IMP::serverString() (much like the imap_append() call on line 539). Here is the original version: /* Save messages in Trash folder. */ foreach ($msg_text as $val) { if (!@imap_append($imp['stream'], $trash, $val)) { Here it is after the fix: $folderstring = IMP::serverString($trash); /* Save messages in Trash folder. */ foreach ($msg_text as $val) { if (!@imap_append($imp['stream'], $folderstring, $val)) { Fri, 24 Mar 2006 22:54:25 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3687#t18128 Works perfectly for me without that change. Sat, 25 Mar 2006 11:54:07 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3687#t18133 Thanks for checking it out. I'm sure it works for many people without the change, but it definitely wasn't working for us. Using tcpdump showed PHP wasn't even attempting the append operation; it returned false immediately, as though it didn't like the format of one of the parameters. It made sense after I looked at other calls to imap_append(). Why wouldn't both calls to imap_append() in Message.php use the same calling syntax (with a fully qualified "{server}mailbox" rather than just "mailbox")? The sample in the PHP documentation uses a fully qualified mailbox as well: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-append.php The way it is now, I'm sure it works for many sites, but it definitely doesn't work for all. I'm not surprised more people haven't noticed it, because this code probably isn't used often. It's only used when the trash folder is enabled, and the user's quota prevents them from copying a deleted message to the trash, and apparently it's only a problem for certain configurations. Fyi, on the web server we're using php 4.3.9 (the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 package php-4.3.9-3.9) with c-client 2002e (libc-client-2002e-14). The IMAP server is Cyrus 2.2.12 (cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-3.RHEL4.1). Sat, 25 Mar 2006 18:40:53 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3687#t18135 Fixed in HEAD and 4.1.1.
