Losing IMAP messages

Title: Losing IMAP messages

I’m new to the list (well, returning after a long absence) and have encountered a problem with an IMAP server. I could not find reference to the problem in the archives, so here goes:

I’m using the Mailblocks (active challenge spam filter) IMAP server. Frequently when I am going through the inbox, the “subject” of a message will change to match the subject of an adjacent message. The original message seems to disappear from Entourage.

When I view the Inbox with the browser client, the messages are fine. The work-around I use is to move the mail in the browser client into a different folder, then open that folder in Entourage and move the message back into the inbox. While this works, it’s slow and tedious, and doesn’t give me a lot of confidence that I’m not missing messages.

I’m using Entourage X SR1. I haven’t switched to 2004 yet due to the horror stories I’ve read in the Mac boards, but if it fixes this problem, I’ll switch right away.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Barry
