Imap must be difficult to implement -- the Depart of Education within
the state of Maine uses an Email server/client called First Class and
Imap functionality there doesn't work well either.  I had asked the
developers about this and they claimbed that there are inconsistancies
within the Imap protocol therefore making it difficult to implement.
I found this a bit hard to believe, but in truth, most mail clients
seemed to have gone through a difficult time when attempting to
incorporate Imap functionality.

I also want to comment that the problem is not specific to GMX -- I'm
running a Linux mail server here with Imap access and am getting
the same results as the original poster.  Guess we'll just havg on for
version 2.

Steve
