Any ideas?

It's probably a corrupted MIME message messing things up. Take a look at the actual message on the server, and delete it, if necessary.

The log entry:

Oct 6 21:38:23 web imaplogin: Connection, ip=[::ffff:216.168.105.34] Oct 6 21:38:23 web imaplogin: LOGIN, user=mbab@fibrespeed.net, ip=[::ffff:216.168.105.34] Oct 6 21:38:24 web imaplogin: IMAP FETCH ERROR: unexpected EOF, uid=514, filename=970174860.15364.web.fibrespeed.net:2,: BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS ("References" "X-Ref" "X-Priority" "X-MSMail-Priority" "X-MSOESRec" "Newsgroups")]

The file:

cat Maildir/cur/970174860.15364.web.fibrespeed.net:2, Return-Path: <ro@fibrespeed.net> Delivered-To: fibr@fibrespeed.net Received: (qmail 15362 invoked by uid 0); 28 Sep 2000 21:01:00 -0000 Date: 28 Sep 2000 21:01:00 -0000 Message-ID: <2000@mstore.fibrespeed.net> From: ro@fibrespeed.net Cc: recipient list not shown: ;

The problem seems fairly obvious now. Courier-IMAP expects to find headers that don't necessarily exist. If I delete the messages that have no body, etc., the log moves on to the next 'broken' message. These messages were retrieved fine by Courier 0.36. Although a header might be considered necessary, if it doesn't find it, the message should be ignored, the server shouldn't just quit downloading messages on me ...

If I had a Subject: line as well as a "testing 1-2-3" after that, it no longer reports the message as broken.

The fact that there were several dozen of these messages in my Inbox made this interesting work ...
