this is a known exchange server bug > > Has anybody else seen this? yes > Is there a workaround? none that we know of. we tried working around it in the code by re-SELECTing the folder as a suggestion by someone in bugzilla, but that didn't fix it apparently. what happens is that Exchange tells us about the new messages but apparently it gets itself out of sync and when we request the message headers so that we may display info in the message-list, it tells us the messages don't exist. > > I find it frustrating that IMAP continues to seem so unreliable in Evo. well, in this particular case it is an Exchange bug. > Although I really like it in all other respects, I think I might be > forced to go back to Mozilla mail...
