I can't reproduce it. One of the comments mentions that the maildir folder is 
not created on the harddisk - if that's the case, then obviously we can't 
store the emails to the disk either, and we can't assign Item a remote ID 
until we can write it to the storage...

Martin, can you confirm that the destination folder exists on your disk?
