Hello,

  could you help me to understand how Cyrus IMAP works with rename at 
INBOX level?

RFC3501 says that "Renaming INBOX is permitted, and has special 
behavior.  It moves all messages in INBOX to a new mailbox with the 
given name, leaving INBOX empty."

If I try with Cyrus IMAP I see:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN 
SASL-IR] cyrus.example.com Cyrus IMAP 3.0.8-2.el7 RHEL server ready

a rename user/name at example.com user/name/allcontent at example.com
a NO Operation is not supported on mailbox

So, it seems that Cyrus IMAP does not support rename at INBOX level. Is 
this right?

Many many thanks again for the support
Warm Regards
Marco

Ps imapd.conf is
allowusermoves: 1
