Thanks for a bug report. What provider are you using, please? Is it IMAP or IMAP+?

Comment 2 Dieter Vandenbroeck 2011-06-07 08:12:41 UTC

It is IMAP+.

The mail account creating the error was my student mail account of the KULeuven (University in Belgium).

Comment 3 Milan Crha 2011-06-17 12:57:00 UTC

Thanks for the update. I tried to reproduce this, but I wasn't able, I could get the "Server unavailable" error for my server, even when I make them unavailable by dropping vpn or disconnecting from the network.

Nonetheless, I believe it's correct bug report, and I'm moving it upstream [1], to have upstream developer to look at it. Please CC there yourself, in case the upstream developer will have additional questions. Thanks in advance.
