When copying a message to a subfolder in "Public Folders" on an Exchange server, it seems to change the folder context to the destination folder.

Is there any way to turn off this behaviour?

Example:

 * OK Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 IMAP4rev1 server version 6.5.7638.1 (blah) ready.

Expected behaviour:

 s select "test"
 * 1 EXISTS
 * 0 RECENT
 * FLAGS (\Seen \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft $MDNSent)
 * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Seen \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft $MDNSent)] Permanent flags
 * OK [UIDVALIDITY 15432] UIDVALIDITY value
 s OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed.
 c copy 1 "test/PROCESSED"
 c OK [COPYUID 15433 2 2] COPY completed, 1 messages copied.

Strange behaviour:

 s select "Public Folders/test"
 * 6 EXISTS
 * 0 RECENT
 * FLAGS (\Seen \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft $MDNSent)
 * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Seen \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft $MDNSent)] Permanent flags
 * OK [UNSEEN 2] Is the first unseen message
 * OK [UIDVALIDITY 101250] UIDVALIDITY value
 s OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed.
 c copy 1 "Public Folders/test/subfolder"
 * 1978 EXISTS
 * 1 RECENT
 c OK [COPYUID 105075 1 1978] COPY completed, 1 messages copied.

Ok The situation is this:

We currently use mysqldump and then bzip2 compress the result and scp it back to our backup server. This is a time consuming manual process and there are no snapshots created.

I am currently experimenting with rsync transferring the differences between the old and new dump files but the compression is much less efficient.

Any other suggestions would be welcome.
