</div><p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">I wasn't aware Outlook Express is still supported?</p></div></blockquote><div> I don't have Vista or Seven to test Windows Mail. But I assume it is the same dll so with the same bug. And the bug impacts Outlook too. I will test with outlook 2007 soon.<br>

<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">In any case, I very much doubt it is worthwhile fixing this on the server side, as some sort of nasty workaround for broken clients. Once we start going that route, none of the clients that pretend to be able to speak IMAP will have to actually be anywhere near compatible with the IMAP specifications.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">That said, however, if it is worthwhile, and somebody decides to provide a patch to fix it, I'm not going to stop anyone from doing just that! ;-)</p>

</div></blockquote></div>My patch is the same as dovecot's one. The UW's patch is probably better (force Outlook to exit the IDLE state). I create an issue in bugzilla.<br><br>Regards,<br>Sébastien<br>
