So, with help from people on comp.lang.java.help I found a solution which
at least compiles and works somehow. However, not correctly. This is the
source:

   import java.util.*;
   import javax.mail.*;

   public class CopyFolder {

      /**
       * @param args
       * @throws MessagingException
       */
      public static void main(String[] args) throws \
            MessagingException {
         String urlStr = "/home/matej/.eclipse/workspace"+
            "/kmail2tbfolders/examples/";
         Session session = Session.getInstance(new \
            Properties());
         session.setDebug(true);
         URLName storeURL = new URLName("mbox://"+urlStr); Store mboxStore
         = session.getStore(storeURL); mboxStore.connect();
         Folder mboxFolder = mboxStore.getDefaultFolder(); mboxFolder =
         mboxStore.getFolder("test"); mboxFolder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
         
         URLName store2URL = new URLName("maildir://"+
            urlStr+"/output/");
         Store maildirStore = session.getStore(store2URL); Folder
         targetFolder = maildirStore.getDefaultFolder(); targetFolder =
         targetFolder.getFolder("target"); if (!targetFolder.exists()) {
            try {
               targetFolder.create (Folder.HOLDS_MESSAGES);
            }
            catch(Exception e) {
               System.err.println("Cannot create target foldr: "+
                     e.getLocalizedMessage());
               throw new RuntimeException(e);
            }
         }
         System.out.println("name of the folder is "+
            targetFolder.getName());
         targetFolder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
         
         Message[] messages = mboxFolder.getMessages();
         System.out.println("There are "+mboxFolder.getMessageCount()+
               " messages in the source folder");
         System.out.println("There are "+messages.length+
		" messages in the selection");
         targetFolder.appendMessages(messages); System.out.println("There
         are "+targetFolder.getMessageCount()+
               " messages in the target folder");

         mboxStore.close();
         maildirStore.close();
      }

   }

However, when I run it I don't get expected results:

[matej@hubmaier kmail2tbfolders]$ rm -rf examples/output/ [matej@hubmaier
kmail2tbfolders]$ ls -lh examples/ celkem 2,0M
-rw-rw-rw- 1 matej matej 2,0M kvě  2 20:23 test [matej@hubmaier
kmail2tbfolders]$ java CopyFolder name of the folder is target
There are 40 messages in the source folder There are 40 messages in the
selection There are 0 messages in the target folder [matej@hubmaier
kmail2tbfolders]$ find examples/output/target/* -type f | wc -l
6
[matej@hubmaier kmail2tbfolders]$

And truly there are only 6 messages in the create maildir folder. Any
ideas why this doesn't work as expected? I feel so close, and yet I am
still not there!

Thanks for any reply,

Matej
