Okay, here is the file. I hope I don't remove anything that is needed. The file is pretty long.

Here is an initial Send/Receive on the mobile device:

READ: ATOM: A7 READ: ATOM: UID READ: ATOM: COPY READ: NUMBER: 8699 READ: QUOTED_STRING: Deleted Items WRITE: A7 NO Error in IMAP command received by server.

This is a bug in your IMAP client. The IMAP client is trying to copy messages to a folder that does not exist, and whose name is not even a valid folder name. "Deleted Items" is an illegal folder name in Courier-IMAP. The previous command clearly shows that Courier-IMAP informed the IMAP client that all personal folder names must begin with "INBOX.". The IMAP client ignored that and attempted to access a folder with an illegal name.

Are there any possible workarounds from the Courier IMAP side? There is not much I can do on the mobile device.

There's not much Courier-IMAP can do about broken IMAP clients.
