Anyone have an example of how to move email from one folder
to another on an IMAP server?

Hmm. 'Insert can not be used on an IMAP port.
So, how does one issue commands to an IMAP server? ( Apart
from 'remove, 'first, 'last etc )

I don't know the details about this port. But I know IMAP4/POP3 are
protocols used to RECEIVE email. If you wish to move email, I think you
should use IMAP4 to read email, and use SMTP protocol to send it to
another email adress.
bye!

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.

There is a difference between the IMAP protocol itself (RFC 2060)
and the imap:// URL scheme (RFC 2192). At this time REBOL only
supports the imap:// URL scheme, which has a subset of the full
IMAP protocol functionality. It handles mailbox lists, message
lists, retrieving and deleting of messages, and message searches,
i.e. it is API-compatible to pop://, with added support for
multiple mailboxes and searches.
Move/copy/rename and other administrative IMAP functions are
not specified in RFC 2192 and not supported by REBOL's imap://
scheme at this time.

I guess this will happen though eventually?
