I have seen similar behavior to what you describe, and it appears to be an issue with OE (v6.00.2900.2180 xpsp_sp2_rtm). In my case OE was "hiding" legitimate reponses to messages I sent from SM. Specifically, I found the following related factors: - Messages sent from my SM installation had a message ID in the following format: Message-ID: <.10.10.10.10.1180648748.squirrel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> - Replies sent from Outlook (office version) clients had the following in the header: In-reply-to: <".10.10.10.10.1180648748.squirrel"@server.domain> - OE will NOT see messages in IMAP folders with the above "in-reply-to" string OE WILL see messages in LOCAL folders with the above "in-reply-to" string The problem appears to be that OE doesn't like the quoted in-reply-to (generated by Outlook in response to the original message-id that began with a period). This one took me a while to figure out. Since my SM installation was at the center of it my solution was to edit the PHP code that generates the message-id so it doesn't start with punctuation (so Outlook doesn't quote it in replies, so OE is happy). Not sure if that helps you, but it was certainly interesting to me. I still use OE because, despite this flaw, it's still the best IMAP client I've found.
