A whilst back I posted a thread about how things broke for me using
Exchange folders over a certain number of messages.
I truncated my folder and things worked beautifully again - unread
counts, flags, and the agent.
Of course my mail box has grown since then and I hit the same problems
(of course forgetting why I truncated all that time ago).
After some more digging I wonder if this is the reason:
http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3459
Now Microsoft acknowledges it's a bug in the server, but the work around
implemented by Mutt means that they don't have to rely on Exchange
admins applying patches (which I'm guessing mine haven't). And given
the number of people having problems with Exchange a lot aren't.

What does GNUs do? Does it use "chunking" for fetching messages, can I
configure it to?

Here's the subject of the original thread in case people are interested.
Subject: 4266 is the 666 of the IMAP world (retrieval issues and odd
behaviours)
Out of interest Is there any easy way to link to a previous thread?

On the web http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/81670
In Gnus, you could also use
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/81670
Put the cursor on that URL, and click RET to go to the article, then
`A T' to see the entire thread it's part of (procedure untested, I will
try it myself when this article appears).

Yep. This procedure worked like a charm.

In the last article of that thread
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/81670/focus=81691
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/81691
Lars asked you for some debug output from nnimap.
Did you ever get back to him on that?

Not automatically, but I did it without moving out of Gnus.
Here's how I did it:
- In the Group buffer, did `G G' on top of the gmane.emacs.gnus.general
group
- The minibuffer prompted with "Query:", and I responded with
"4266 is the 666 of the IMAP world" (without the quotes)
- Moved to the start of the thread in the results buffer, and did
`C-u g' on top of that article
- Searched for "archive" (without the quotes) and found the following header
Archived-At: <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/81670>
Then I doctored the URL in that header to become
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/81670
and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/81670

Interesting! Is there an easy way to create that kind of nntp hyperlink
to a message, from within gnus itself?

I'm afraid I didn't. By the time he asked for it I'd all ready
truncated my Inbox. And I've done the same again this time :-(
Can't live without email even for a short time.
Apologies.

Might be an idea to grab the data of the buffer he suggested, the next
time it happens, and just save it to a file.

You can also use `t' (gnus-summary-toggle-header) to display all
headers.

Indeed. Far more convenient.

Same here, thanks!
I guess that wasn't quite "automatic", but close enough!

nnimap could use chunking fetches for Microsoft Exchange. What's the
"welcome banner" when you connect to an Exchange IMAP server?

Is the bug just when doing 1:*, or when doing fetches like this, too?
167 UID FETCH 17779:17816,17818:17821,17823:17841,17843:17865,17867:17916 (UID RFC822.SIZE BODYSTRUCTURE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (Subject From Date Message-Id References In-Reply-To Xref To Newsgroups Cc)]).
nnimap does this when fetching headers on group entry, for instance.
