I don’t get imap.create to work on Courier-IMAP. I can search  
mailboxes etc. But not create. Tried to create on another imap account  
and that worked (don’t know what imap server is used here).

Here is the error message:  
“$ ./imap-copy.rb  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/imap.rb:971:in `get_tagged_response': Invalid mailbox name. (Net::IMAP::NoResponseError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/imap.rb:1022:in`send\_command’  
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/monitor.rb:229:in `synchronize' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/imap.rb:1007:in`send\_command’  
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/imap.rb:414:in `create’  
from ./imap-copy.rb:19”

Do anybody know how to create folders on courier-imap servers/ why it  
doesn’t work for me?
