- From a rough stab in the dark, I think they're writing their own IMAP
server, which would be why some implementations of commands don't
exist, or don't work right. They were probably doing most of their
work to make the server work with Outlook/Outlook Express which
'kindly' decides not to follow standard commands in the correct way.
Although I couldn't work out why they were writing their own system as
their are plenty of IMAP servers about, unless they're using complete
custom software for all parts of their systems including the dial-up
db, account information, and system storage, in which case it'd make a
little more sense.
