OK, this is the correct reason.
Now, take it a step further. If, instead of getting a list

Each OR effectively takes you down a level of nesting. That is:
OR (FROM a) OR (FROM b) OR (FROM c) (FROM d)
is effectively
OR (FROM a) (OR (FROM b) (OR (FROM c) (FROM d)))
I never realized this! And my server does not handle such a thing
appropriately. It makes sense but
to include AUTH=CRAM-MD5 but Messenger does not use
that; just sends a simple LOGIN command.
What type of AUTHENTICATE is it trying to use in your case?

This is a matter that I have had to deal with.
Is it common that IMAP servers also make INBOX available under a different

if I (as an IMAP client) have to exit quickly and have an open IMAP
connection, I can't wait around for the IMAP server's responses.
In this case, should I send LOGOUT and immediately close the TCP
connection, or should I just close the TCP connection? I can't quite make
up my mind.

I find this a tough question to answer. My inclination is just to close
the connection but I cannot offer much justification for that. One
consideration is that, if you send a LOGOUT and then immediately close the
connection, it seems likely that the server will never see the LOGOUT.

loose in the ISP space, it's mobile
devices - when you're dealing with small devices, then server-centric
email storage is a requirement, and I suspect that small devices may be
the thing that makes IMAP reach critical mass.

Even better if such list would also contain list of known bugs that the

I have been compiling such a list for a while but have been apprehensive
about making it public.

I want to throw a few ideas (and some strong opinions!) into this discussion:
(1). There are IMAP servers that, in certain cases, do not assign new UIDs
to messages that are changed. This is because the servers have no way of
telling that a message has been changed. This makes the servers
I am using Outlook express as my IMAP client. After Deletion of mails from
inbox, they were marked with delete flag. One copy is saved in Trash
folder. I tried to delete those mails stored in Trash also, they were also
marked with deleted flag. So if want to delete completely from server,
not to be picky but because my IMAP server will, in
certain circumstances, send redundant EXISTS responses. And I have never
seen any problem because of this. Now I am wondering if this is something
one should be careful to avoid.

issue is what should a server do if it comes across a MIME part
that it is asked to send as BINARY but which it cannot decode because the
part is improperly encoded? Maybe there should be some response similar to
UNKNOWN-CTE for this case?
My thanks for any input,

that a protocol. Am I off base here?

FETCH 1:* BINARY[1]
I expect it would be rare for a client to issue a FETCH for a specified
body part for multiple messages but it is certainly possible and I can
imagine odd situations where it would be quite plausible.
If the client already knows that all the messages in the range are
that for confidentiality
concerns, or other possible reasons, you may choose not to say.

What I was actually trying to get at is this: should the server set

Yes, it should.
Better question is should it set \Seen flag for messages for which it
didn't return the BINARY data (but might have returned other things). I

Hi David,
I bet that the problem is the trailing space in runbox.com . Of course,
it reflects the same in the envelope [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I am not
certain if the latter is illegal but it would be wise to trim it.

There was a good discussion related to this on this list a few months ago,
presumably during the time you were off. If you search the archives for
September 2003 I think you will find a lot of relevant information. There
is one thread with a subject of LIST and there may be more.
Cheers,

Some relevant pieces of information are present in RFC 2683 (IMAP4
Implementation Recommendations) and these could be referenced.
Any thoughts?

Rick,
Thanks for your response.
I'm not sure you're going to get sensible answers to your questions

constrained by being under heavy non-disclosure

to a SELECT or EXAMINE command, that response must be required. Is my
