What version of Outlook? Is it OE? I've never seen this using Outlook 2000, but OE occasionally gave me trouble with single messages somewhat like this (or told me it could not show the message), that took reading the message using Webmail and deleting or forwarding to myself (have no clue why that worked, but it did) to fix. It was rare, maybe once every couple of weeks, at its worst. I've been using IMAP for years and those old messages (that I kept) are still available...IMAP should not remove the messages, unless deleted and purged, as Jason said. Wonder if something else is pulling down the messages in parallel with Outlook? Make sure you do not have a POP3 account setup for the same user.
If this were a slow connection and POP3, I might say the 'check' time is too short... cannot find a setting like that in IMAP accounts... Try webmail first, then if things look OK, your Outlook. Go back into webmail after Outlook logs in and check again. Messages should still be there and if not, something (Outlook?) MUST be deleting them. If you have another computer, setup Outlook for this account and use that instead of your computer, first thing in the morning....if that works, then I'd have to say it was something on your computer or Outlook. Very strange...

I don't use McAfee anything. It only happens when there are a large number of messages to IMAP. When it is typical send/receive during the day everything seems fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Julie Harris Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 12:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] IMAP Blank Emails Are the emails in HTML format? And what Anti-virus is being used on this machine? Not that is the problem, but whenI've seen this issue it was related to McAfee's anti-spam blocking the content in HTML formatted emails.

How can I stop this? I hate having to write everyone I see an email from and ask them to resend it. I always get the subject and to/from, but always blank bodies. Help Please. ----------------------------------------- Travis Rabe
