Re: crash with 3.99.13

Could this be a newline problem?
The Cyrus server would reject APPENDs with bare newlines
(but at least it told you why it rejected them).

Here we just see the write failing without any reason
being given....

That behavior is consistent with them failing to work with the APPEND
command.

The IMAP APPEND command is used to add a message to a mail folder.
OfflineIMAP must use it when a message is copied from one folder to another
locally.  OfflineIMAP implements a move as a copy followed by a delete.

Unfortunately, if they do not support APPEND, you will not be able to copy
or move messages between folders using their server with OfflineIMAP.  You
will note that no other mail client will be able to copy messages between
their folders, either, though depending on their implementation, some may be
able to move messages.  A direct move is a very complex procedure in the
situation OfflineIMAP is in.
