Evidently I am completely out of date. I had these problems about a month ago and "fixed" them at that time. I only just today got around to posting my patch to the list. I just tried connecting to fastmail.fm without my modifications to imap.el, and it worked perfectly. Either fastmail.fm's IMAP server was broken a month ago or (much more likely) I got myself totally confused. In any case, please ignore my previous post, and the patch it contains. Cheers, Rory
