Subject: gnus IMAP vs. Exchange Server 2007

Hi,

At work, we recently "upgraded" from MS Exchange Server 2003 to 2007. Suddenly
gnus stopped working as an IMAP client. As Thunderbird also had problems I
decided to do a little debugging. After viewing the *imap-log* I noticed that in
the course of the seesion, gnus sends the command 

124 FETCH 1,* UID

to which MS Exchange Server 2007

124 BAD The specified message set is invalid.

Things go downhill from there. I also manually telneted in and issued the same
command, and received the same result. My questions are:

1) is 124 FETCH 1,* UID a valid IMAP command for non-empty mailboxes?
2) if so, is this an MS Exchange Server 2007 bug?
3) in either case is there a patch workaround for gnus? I am currently running
gnus "5.11" that comes with emacs 22.1.1. 

Sorry if this has already been covered--I am not an expert in IMAP protocols,
Exchange Server, or gnus.

Thanks,
Mat
