Seems like an internal server error to > me. Look at the situation more closely: earlier, the server said this message was present. Later, when a FETCH command is given, the server says it can't provide the message. So the server is accurately reporting a change of state. The server never says that the message both exists and doesn't exist *at the same time*. It reports the truth at each moment, but of course the truth can change over time. paul
