I've got an OE6 user suffering from the "Message not available on server" problem as described here -

One reply seems to suggest that a simple solution is to set up a cron job to move any mail in ~user/Maildir/cur to ~user/Maildir/new.

Is there a better (or updated) solution to this problem? I'm using the most recent stable release of courier-imap.

You don't say which M$ OS, only OE6. I've seen problems with OE6 on XP - for that matter quite some other OE version on various M$ OS's. Sam put it quite qight a short while ago:

"Only some versions of OE are crippled. OE's really not OE. Lots of stuff OE does is actually part of MSIE; installing MS Office also installs some libraries that are shared with OE. Depending on the particular combination of the official OE version, MSIE version, Windows version, current+previous service packs, Office version, and gawd knows what else, you'll see widely different behavior from the OE client.

Try to find the guy who wrote MSOE, and ask him to fix it. Or, install a random service pack, or a hot fix. Sometimes they end up fixing these kinds of things."

First verify it's the right OE version for that OS, verify all nessesary updates/hotfixes are in place... Then try the full pay-version of Outlook or try downloading Mozilla onto the pc in question to verify mail can be read correctly. Then dump OE. Mind you, OE is a freem scaled-down version of Outlook.
