This is with the current CVS gnus. When I copy (B C) or move (B M) an article, I receive an error "writing to process: bad address, imap" (backtrace below). After that, gnus is ready, but it hangs on any other access to that imap server. If I kill the imapd manually, then gnus sometimes can keep working but not always. At first I thought I had found a reason to move from dovecot to courier, but the problem occurs with *both* servers. I'm using imap-shell-program to invoke the imap server locally.[1] The backtrace: > Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "writing to process" "bad address" #) > process-send-region(# 1 209423) > imap-send-command(("APPEND \"" "INBOX.sparse.VIC" "\" " #) nil) > imap-send-command-wait(("APPEND \"" "INBOX.sparse.VIC" "\" " #)) > imap-message-append("INBOX.sparse.VIC" # nil nil " *nnimap* Local") > nnimap-request-accept-article("INBOX.sparse.VIC" "Local" t) > gnus-request-accept-article("nnimap+Local:INBOX.sparse.VIC" nil t t) > gnus-summary-move-article(nil nil nil copy) > gnus-summary-copy-article(nil) > call-interactively(gnus-summary-copy-article nil nil) The *imap-log* buffer contains: > 129 NOOP > 129 OK NOOP completed > 130 APPEND "INBOX.sparse.VIC" {209422} > + OK followed by the entire messge.

Jason Footnotes: [1] I use OfflineIMAP to keep a messages in a few different places, and it doesn't know about nnmaildir's extra files. So nnmaildir isn't an option.
