Evolution does cache heavily; I use it myself.

Perhaps 'reconstruct' hasn't done its job for some reason. Were you
definitely running it as user 'cyrus'?

Unfortunately, I don't know much more about that than you. I've usually
used imtest for login testing and to check what options the server
advertises.

If someone would be so kind as to jot down a quick "IMAP command
summary" for:
	listing messages
	retrieving a message's headers
	retrieving a message
	deleting a message
	getting the auth advertising info (eg login options, etc)
		from the IMAP server

I'd be happy to expand it and plonk it into the wiki. Alternately, if I
ever get time I'll check out the IMAP RFC.
