Awesome. I see this issue at least a dozen times per day.
Did the change help? If yes, in 100% cases or sometimes you see the
'rename' error again? I could add some more debug to the 'rename' error
message which would help us catch more issues this way.
The reason is because I have 'afew' moving messages around
behind the
scenes, based on tags. So, if I go through a mailbox, archiving some
messages and saving others to maildirs or deleting them, the archived
ones get moved within a few minutes and then mutt won't let me delete
the ones marked for deletion. I have to exit and re-start mutt before
I can delete those. Or, to work around it, archive, re-load the
virtual folder, delete, sync mailbox and wait a while, archive more,
re-load, delete, sync, etc... I just can't do both in one pass
without problems.
That does not sound like an ideal scenario indeed :)
