Outlook 2002 vs. Cyrus 2.1.12

Mon Feb 10 09:44:00 EST 2003

The obvious difference here is that Cyrus 2.1 supports the IDLE
extension and Outlook is using it.  I'm not sure why the client would be
IDLEing in between APPENDs, but I've grown accustomed to seeing silly
behavior from Outlook and Netscape.  What method for IDLE did you
configure with? (doing a 'version' command in cyradm will tell us
everything we need).  You might want to try reconfiguring/recompiling
Cyrus using --with-idle=no and see if this makes a difference.
