I have Courier-IMAP 2.0 installed under RedHat 9 on a Dell server. I compiled it with LDAP authentication and the workarounds for imap client bugs. It works fine until I try to make my Mozilla 1.4 IMAP client

Try compiling without the workarounds. Mozilla 1.4 should not need them.

That, of course, was the first thing I tried. That had the problem I described, so I tried enabling the workarounds, but to no avail. I appreciate your input, but I was hoping there was somebody out there who is actually using Courier-IMAP ver 2.0 with the Mozilla mail client and has figured out how to make it work properly. If there is anyone who could shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Mozilla works for me, and I didn't need to do anything special.

My advanced IMAP server settings dialog has "Server supports folders that contain subfolders and messages" checked, "INBOX." and "shared." as folder namespaces, and "allow server to override these namespaces." I don't remember if I had to set these manually. The only thing I had to manually reset is to bump down the maximum number of server connections to 4. It's possible that your random problems are due to Mozilla's default concurrency setting of 5, which exceeds Courier-IMAP's default limit of 4 connections accepted from the same IP address concurrently, which may result in random problems.

I'd love to get to the bottom of this. I was hoping it was just a Mozilla bug and would eventually go away with a new release, but it hasn't. Here's a document with screenshots that describes the problem:
