Just to make sure, the Rebex log contains much more information. If you create a Rebex log using the Imap LogWriter property with the default LogLevel (i.e. LogLevel.Debug) , there will be logged the communication between your Imap server and Rebex Imap client. The portion that you posted above, is only a stack trace of the actual exception that was raised by the CopyMessage method in your program. To be able to tell more, we need to see the full log. See my answer below for explanation why you get the ImapException.

The exception ("Cannot send command to the server because the response for previous one was not received") is usually thrown when one operation fails (due to timeout or another serious problem) and throws an exception, but that exception is ignored and another operation (Imap.CopyMessage() in this case) is attempted. A communication log created using Imap object's LogWriter property should make it possible to tell what is going on - either add the log to your post or mail it to support@rebex.net for analysis.
