Yup. MDaemon 3.X by Alt-N technologies. On Windows. But in my defence, I am desperate. Cyrus won't build (for me) on Cygwin. Nor will Courier. Even UW-IMAP has problems running with authentication (for me, anyhoo). So I tried this. If anyone can recommend a *proper*, open and free IMAP server on Windows, I'd be eternally grateful. MDaemon, BTW, isn't free or open, and in 30 days (Trial period) I'll have to think of something else ;) > (See http://josefsson.org/nnimap/buggy-imap-servers.html#interchange for > the details.) > >> 4 FETCH 1,* UID >> * 1 FETCH (UID 1) >> * 2 FETCH (UID 2) >> ... >> >> 4 OK FETCH completed > > Out of curiosity, why did you ?

Yes, the server returned a FETCH line for each mail. Thanks a million for the prompt reply Simon, and thanks also for not berating me for not looking up the archive properly (I noted soon after I had sent my query that this very issue had been mentioned very recently... sorry about that) Cheers, Ian -- fortune says: Old musicians never die, they just decompose. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Made in Ireland using GNU Emacs ~~~~~~~~~~~ Ian Swainson Kia Ora! ian@qui-oui.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.qui-oui.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
