Sorry if this is a somewhat worn issue, but like others I keep getting

OE popup messages.
It happens at least when OE gets started, mostly saying some 'folder
was not polled for it's unread count', but also in-between after
inactivity.
The likely explanation is quoted below. If you do not wish to verify
that this is indeed what is happening, that's up to you.
The whole purpose with Courier-imap was implementing secure mail from
multiple locations with all mail left on the server, but if this cannot
be corrected, I'm left little choice but to switch to M$ Exchange
server and settle with an opensource mailrelay and -filter on the
firewall.
And that's exactly what MS would rather have you do, by making sure that
OE works best with MSexchange.
You couldn't be more right; I know of m$'s ways of mingling with
standards.
Unfortunately, I'm not alone in making those decisions.
Then again, fortunately, debugging my private testsetup revealed a
firewall flaw on my part. I had copied some TCP rule and edited it for
simap, but had missed that it was looking at the syn bit, rejecting
connections.
After fixing it, OE didn't complain any more.
How simap traffic got through anyway is left me as an exercise.
Anyway, I fixed the firewall at work and tested it; all worked just
fine.
