Can't move messages between IMAP folders

Can't move messages between IMAP folders

[Aaron Bingham]

Hello,

I just started using GNUs.  Aside from a few problems with
configuration, I'm really liking it so far.  However, I'm having a
couple of problems I haven't been able to resolve.  The first as
follows.

When I try to move a message with `B m' I an error message like the
following appears in the minibuffer:

Couldn't move message 435: group INBOX selected

Afterwards, Gnus is in a strange state, trying to quit the group with
`q' in the summary buffer may result in a `wrong argument type:
stringp, nil' error, or trying to view another message in the current
group may result in the error `Buffer *Article* has no process'.  I've
seen both of these behavoirs but they do not appear to occur at the
same time.

Restarting Gnus resolves the above symtoms, but I still can't move
messages.

Any ideas?

I am using Gnus 5.9.0 with GNU Emacs 21.3.1.  The IMAP server is
Curior IMAP running on localhost.  

Thanks,

Aaron

Upgrade to the latest CVS release, if you can.  IMAP support is better
since 5.9.  If you are still having the problem, post your IMAP
settings as given to Gnus (your primary and secondary servers).  You
can use M-x gnus-bug to do it automatically.
