Thak you very much BrM How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install RH6.1 2.configure sendmail and pop3 services 3. Additional info:
First I've heard of it so it makes me think it is most likely a bug in Outlook Express. Outlook is quite buggy as evidenced by BUGTRAQ and similar mailing lists, so I would recommend that you try upgrading your Outlook to the latest Microsoft update first and see if that fixes the problem. We have a pending imap package update which will be released very shortly also and if it is a bug in imap/pop3, it may be fixed, but I wouldn't know without a specific reproduceable test case. Does it happen if you use Netscape or Eudora or some other client?
Without feedback or other datapoints, I cannot do anything if there is an actual bug in the imap package. We just released an imap errata. If that solves your problem, please close this bug report as resolved ERRATA. If not please provide more information.
Please try the latest errata update (currently imap-2000c-1.6.0)
Closing because this is extremely old.
