Hello, I am posting to both lists because I'm not sure what is at fault - Sylpheed-claws or DbMail.
I have finally guessed how to get the logged data right in Sylpheed. So, here's what happens when I ask it to rebuild the tree. It gets the folder list and then wants to read the headers for every folder. Here is how it happens for the sole folder that works OK: [23:03:26] IMAP4> 18 STATUS TestFolder (MESSAGES RECENT UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN) [23:03:26] IMAP4< * STATUS "TestFolder" (MESSAGES 15 RECENT 15 UIDNEXT 4049 UIDVALIDITY 2 UNSEEN 11) [23:03:26] IMAP4< 18 OK STATUS completed [23:03:26] IMAP4> 19 SELECT TestFolder [23:03:27] IMAP4< * 15 EXISTS [23:03:27] IMAP4< * 15 RECENT [23:03:27] IMAP4< * FLAGS (\Seen \Answered \Deleted \Flagged \Draft \Recent ) [23:03:27] IMAP4< * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Seen \Answered \Deleted \Flagged \Draft \Recent )] [23:03:27] IMAP4< * OK [UIDVALIDITY 2] UID value [23:03:27] IMAP4< * OK [UNSEEN 2] first unseen message [23:03:27] IMAP4< 19 OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed [23:03:27] IMAP4> 20 UID SEARCH UID 1:* [23:03:27] IMAP4< * SEARCH 1 2 3 1018 1019 1020 1021 1023 1024 1025 1026 1027 1029 1030 1031 [23:03:27] IMAP4< 20 OK SEARCH completed [23:03:27] IMAP4> 21 UID FETCH 1:3,1018:1021,1023:1027,1029:1031 (UID FLAGS RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (Date From To Cc Newsgroups Su [line broken. sorry] [23:03:27] IMAP4< * 1 FETCH (UID 1 FLAGS (\Seen \Recent) RFC822.SIZE 6003 BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (Date From To Cc Newsgroups Subject Message-ID Re [line broken. sorry - and several more FETCHes after this] ....

I wish I could track the Evolution dialog for comparison, as Evolution reads these folders all right. But I could not find a log file for Evolution (apparently it does not have one). Can anyone decipher what goes wrong? A cool mail program and a cool IMAP server should work together, after all :) Yours, Mikhail Ramendik
