[imp] Invalid Mailbox Name

[Will Koffel]

So Franck, let me see if I understand the problem.

Can you create folders in the "Folders" area?  Creating a new one in the popup 
called "INBOX.TestSent" should work.  Does it?

Then, if you edit your identity, you should see INBOX.TestSent in the drop 
down.  If you choose that, can you save sent mail to it?

If you can't create it, it does sound like a courier-imap issue to me.  Do the 
courier logs show anything?

The mailbox "sent-mail" is a special case for mbox'es, isn't it?  I'm 
definitely speaking slightly beyond my mail protocol knowledge now.  Just a 
hypothesis, maybe a differently named sent box would work.  I know I use one 
called "INBOX.Sent" instead of the default "sent-mail".  See if an alternate 
box works for sent mail.

You could also try setting your sent mail box to be one of your saved mail 
boxes, or even the inbox itself!  That should continue to eliminate IMP as the 
problem.

Good luck.
