When I am reading my e-mail from the netscape mail client via IMAP, and at the same time I get a new message, if I click on my inbox I get the following message:

The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Error in IMAP command sent by server.

When I leave netscape and check mail, the message is there. /var/log/maillog doesn't show anything unusual.

What is the problem and how do I fix it?

This is a known issue and the problem is Netscape. See imap/BUGS in the source distribution for details.

To work around the problem, reconfigure and recompile courier as follows:

./configure --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs

Yes, a very long option name, and make sure to spell it correctly, or the configure script will IGNORE the incorrect option name.
