This shows some interesting problems The developer is very adamant about writing dovecot strictly to the letter of the IMAP specification. He's also discovered many of the popular clients have bugs, and are unable to work (or at least have issues) with an IMAP server that goes purely by the rules. He refused to "break" his software to work around bugs on the client side, but ultimately compromised by writing in work-arounds that you can enable in the config file. You can enable them all if you like. -R
