  I think you missed the point, probably because my explainations were
  not good enough or my English not understandable.
  My Internet provider asked me to give him a trace of the IMAP exchanges
  between its IMAP server and my client.

  The connection itself went OK in any cases. I have the traces about it.

  It tryed with two other Internet providers and nnimap worked perfectly
  with them.

  Moreover, I got a testimony from at least one person that could not
  fetch the mail with nnimap from this problematic Internet provider
  but succeeded with some others.
  
  How would you explain that?
