I've had the situation that the IMAP server didn't "manage concurrent connections to one account in a sane manner". This is what happened. I had two clients listening to one IMAP server with IMAP IDLE (evolution and getmail). It happened that both clients saw a new mail and tried to download it (or part of it, like the header). One client came first and deleted the message from the server. Then the second one got an error, because it tried to retrieve a message that was no longer there. In evolution (when being the second one), I got an error message "Cannot get message...". I believe it lies in the IMAP protocol that it goes like this. The server isn't to blame. Bye, Volker
