I've upgraded now my debian package to version 0.6.90 (etch and sid) and 
I've created a log which I will send you directly in a separate mail.

I see in the logs:
-- snip start --
NO/Bad Tagged: BAD Protocol Error: "Specified message set is invalid".

Expunge on mailbox `imap://user:address@hidden' failed: 
Invalid argument
-- snip end --

Besides that I've compiled the version that you've referred me to:

>   ftp://download.gnu.org.ua/pub/alpha/mailutils/mailutils-20051213.tar.bz2

This version calls itself 0.6.92.

If I run this version then even the copying of the mail to the new 
folder does not happen and the messages are not discarded in the 
original INBOX either.

I see only a lot of error messages printed to stderr:
NO/Bad Tagged: BAD Protocol Error: "One of the supplied fetch items is 
invalid".

I also noticed that the debug output of this version looks completely 
different from the 0.6.90 version that I got via a debian package. I 
also will forward to you a log file of a run of the new version.

Another somehow unrelated question I have would be: How can I avoid to 
put the whole imap URL with username and password into the fileinto 
directive?

Thank you very much for your help!
