Hi,

We're trying to make our IMAPd and IMAP-proxies work with nnimap, as of yet
without success though.

It seems I can login and get an overview of the messages (which is displayed
in the Group buffer as count for unread and "all" messages), but when I try
to access one of the mails, I run into problems.

This is what I see:

  Starting gnus, the imap folder (nnimap+imap.freenet.de:inbox) displays a
  correct message count. The counts for new messages and all messages in
  the Group buffer are correct (e.g. 1/12).

  Whenever I try to enter the group, the number of new messages is set to 0
  (e.g. 0/12) in the Group buffer and Gnus displays "No unread news". If
  the count for new articles was 0, Gnus displays "No articles in the
  group".

We've compared the output from MS Exchange's imap server and from our
imapd. The author of the imapd server ("Courier imapd") states:

> Both of these responses appear to be perfectly correct. The differences
> are completely superficial.

Now we're lost. The problem doesn't seem to be with our imapd proxy (which
doesn't modify the data), nor with the imapd server we're using. I'm
including an Ethereal dump of what happens when I try to access the nnimap
folder.

Perhaps someone can point out where the problem lies? Please copy me on
your response; I'm following the ding list, but not as close as I would
like to...

Thanks!

I was just about to file exactly this same report. I've been able to access
the Courier imap server with IMP just fine.

I've put up an imap-debug at:

        http://vaughan.to/tom/pub/imap-debug.gz

if anyone is interested. If there is any other information that's needed,
please let me know. I can even setup a shell acct. on the smtp/imap server
if need be. Thanks much.
