Re: Problems with IMAP

[Aviv Greenberg <avivgnet@xxxxxxxxx>]

It appears that fetching the headers from the server failed for some
reason (NO is returned). So I applied this patch to debug the problem:

       {
         dprint (2, (debugfile, "msg_fetch_header: ignoring fetch
response with no body\n"));

and indeed i see prints like:
...
BUGBUG expecting 50880 got 50881
BUGBUG expecting 51939 got 51940
BUGBUG expecting 66696 got 66697
BUGBUG expecting 68457 got 68458
BUGBUG expecting 68911 got 68912
...

It appears that the imap server skips some headers in the FETCH
command. Is this normal? Is this whats casuing the error? What can i
do?
