I just noticed, that, when I move a message from INBOX to a folder
in Thunderbird (via IMAP), the file on the server sometimes remains
in both directories:<br>
<blockquote><tt>/var/spool/imap/user/mi/<i>message</i>.</tt><br>
</blockquote>
and<br>
<blockquote><tt>/var/spool/imap/user/mi/<i>folder</i>/<i>message</i>.</tt><br>
</blockquote>
<div align="justify">The copies are a hardlink, so little space is
wasted, but I'm concerned about the toplevel (INBOX) directory
having too many entries... I thought, this is related to the
folder (not) being immediately "compacted", but even when I
explicitly request a compacting (in Thunderbird), the strangeness
remains. Right now out of the 35170 messages in my INBOX, 1219 are
hardlinked to other folders...<br>
</div>

Is this normal? I'm using Cyrus imapd 2.4.11 on FreeBSD. Please,
advise. Thanks!<br>
