Here's my modified version of vm-move-mail, with a chown to fix the ownership
of folders when I'm "su root". Note that I'm running VM 4.41, so vm-move-mail
could have changed substantially (or even disappeared!).
(defun vm-move-mail (source destination)
(let ((dest (expand-file-name destination)))
(call-process "movemail" nil nil nil (expand-file-name source) dest)
(if (eq (user-uid) 0)
(call-process "chown" nil nil nil (user-login-name) dest))))
