I've just tried this loads and can't reproduce it on 6.06 but clearly that doesn't mean it doesn't ever do it. Small or large files makes no difference. I do have a very good connection to the server so that might be helping and OE6 (I still can't spot a single difference with OE5). I wonder what happens if you have two IMAP clients talking to the server and moving files at the same time, from looking at what actual happens at the server it is not obvious how it would handle that situation. Thanks for the feedback anyway, from the number of responses it does seem that 7.03 hf1 is not a bad release even if it doesn't fix everything.
