Hi Alessandro,
This is from the RFC for IMAP4 (
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2060.html )
IMAP4rev1 includes operations for creating, deleting, and
renaming mailboxes; checking for new messages; permanently
removing messages; setting and clearing flags; [RFC-822] and
[MIME-IMB] parsing;searching; and selective fetching of
message attributes, texts, and portions thereof.
I think MOVE should be COPY followed by REMOVE.
However, looking at the current IMAP handler, COPY ( as in
copying a message from one mailbox to another ) is not
supported.
