(Otherwise, it makes it harder to keep the software up > to date) Standalone imap clients can do processing locally. They don't use IMAP same way SquirrelMail does. SquirrelMail uses IMAP server to parse messages, because it is faster than parsing message structure in PHP. >From dovecot changelogs. v.0.99.14 - If UID FETCH notices and skips an expunged message, don't return a NO reply. It's not needed and only makes clients give error messages. If issue is specific to UID FETCH and FETCH is not broken, you can turn off uid support in SquirrelMail 1.4.x configuration. Also make sure that server side sorting is turned on in SquirrelMail configuration. v0.99.12 - FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE sometimes gave a wrong reply (eg. with FETCH (BODYSTRUCTURE RFC822.SIZE) if it wasn't cached) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
