I have dumped three sessions using TCPDUMP

1: When I check my Inbox and see the new message 2: When I try to read the new message 3: When I return to the now empty Inbox

Also, the message is moved from new/ to cur/ when it "disappears". If I

That claim is not supported by your dump. In fact, the message was moved from new to cur during the first dump, and your second login, your second dump, clearly shows the message in the folder.

understand the dumps correctly the problem is that the server fails to return the message in dump 2 (and 1, since there I have one new message, but there are

Both dump #2 and dump #1 show the exact same messages in the folder, message UID #4 and message UID #6

one old message that does not show up either).

Any ideas?

------- DUMP 1:

-------

C: 00000003 SELECT INBOX S: * FLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Recent) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen)] Limited * 2 EXISTS

... two messages in the folder the first time, ...

------- DUMP 2:

-------

C: 00000003 SELECT INBOX S: * FLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Recent) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen)] Limited * 2 EXISTS

... and two messages in the folder the second time. Everything's present and accounted for. What led you to believe that the message "disappeared"?

And now, for the third login:

------- DUMP 3:

IMAP client logged in.

C: 00000003 SELECT INBOX S. * FLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Recent) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen)] Limited * 2 EXISTS

The IMAP client opened INBOX, same two messages are still there.

C: * 00000004 LIST "" INBOX.* S: * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Sent Items" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Trash" 00000004 OK L C: 00000005 LIST "" "" S: * LIST (\Noselect) "." "" 00000005 OK LIST completed

The IMAP client downloaded the list of all available folders.

C: 00000006 NOOP S: 00000006 OK NOOP completed C: 00000007 LOGOUT

The IMAP client twiddle its thumbs, and logged out without doing anything.

The reason you did not see your message this time is simply because your IMAP client never even asked for it. That's it. End of story.
