Thanks. > Note that the server is broken here, the RFC is clear > that the status-att are upper case. Ah. Can you let me know where it says that? I was going from the formal syntax at the end of RFC3501, where it says: (1) Except as noted otherwise, all alphabetic characters are case-insensitive. The use of upper or lower case characters to define token strings is for editorial clarity only. Implementations MUST accept these strings in a case-insensitive fashion. and I didn't see anything specially marked about the case of status-att (or, in fact, anything other than the issues around INBOX). - Nathan
