ERROR - Invalid IMAP mailbox name "Junk"
Rickeyjt
I have serveral POP accounts and four are setup as IMAP. I get this
error message: The IMAP command has failed. The server replied with
"Invalid mailbox name". Reason: Invalid IMAP mailbox name "Junk".
Sometimes I also get the error cannot create mailbox Junk. Eudora
just sits until I ok these messages.

It sounds like you have Eudora set to automatically junk spam messages and
it can't create the necessary Junk mailbox to send them to. If you can
create the Junk mailbox yourself in each one of these accounts, that
should solve the problem. If you can't do so, turning off automatic
junking would seem to be the best solution.

below that suggested this Junk box had to be created on the same level
as the Inbox on the server in order to work. Something to do with a
UIDPLUS spec.

I turned off UseJunkMailboxx=0 in the ini file and this stopped the
error. But I would like to know how to figure out or ask my provider
how to create this box on the server. Sounds like Eudora is not
behaving properly anyway.

Yes, it has to be in the right place, not just anywhere. There is a
setting that supposedly lets you set the name of the Junk mailbox,
which would presumably help with something like this, but it doesn't work
as far as I can tell.
In the meantime, you could create a filter that moves messages to a "junk"
mailbox of your own creation based on the junk score. That would at least
get them out of your usual mailboxes. You could train Eudora by junking a
copy of any missed junk messages from a local mailbox rather than from the
server. (Training may work from the IMAP box even if the message can't be
transferred to Junk, I'm not sure.)

On Tools, Options, check "IMAP Mailbox Location Prefix" ... try
something like Mail/ don't forget the backslash.
