Note that i have problem only with NFS server under windows I have no problem with the same configuration and NFS server under Linux

Looks like a permissions problem, as the error says. i.e. Windows probably doesn't have a sensible idea of Unix file "ownership" which matches what Courier is doing.

Courier sets its uid to the owner of the mailbox. So on your Linux box (the one running Courier), try using 'su' to change to one of your users, then cd to their mailbox, then move the file using 'mv'. I suspect it will fail. Then you can hit your Windows box with a large pneumatic drill until it starts to work.
