Hi all, 

In case anyone was wondering, I was able to fix my problem with 
copying/moving/saving messages to shared folders. Here's the bit from my 
original message:

The problem was in servers.php, here: 


$servers['imap'] = array(
    'name' => 'Kabissa Mail Server',
    'server' => 'kabissa.org',
    'protocol' => 'imap',
    'port' => 143,
    'folders' => '',
    'namespace' => '',
    'maildomain' => 'kabissa.org',
    'smtphost' => 'kabissa.org',
    'realm' => '',
    'preferred' => ''
);

I had 'INBOX.' for 'namespace' above - the default, I think. Once I removed it 
the problem went away completely. Maybe something for a FAQ? Shared folders are 
really useful, so I'd be surprised if I'm alone in using them. 

Cheers,

Tobias
