There are several known bugs with uw-imapd and outlook/oe: http://bugs.debian.org/108719 http://bugs.debian.org/127790 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q274259 One of those is probably affecting you (the middle one?). I'd recommend trying another imapd (courier-imap, etc.). -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
