-You appear to be using the Novell GroupWise IMAP server. This server would

+The Novell GroupWise IMAP server would be better named GroupFoolish;
+it is (according to the designer of IMAP) unusably broken. Among

+Fetchmail works around this problem, but we strongly recommend voting

+with code as shoddy as GroupWise seems to be, you will probably pay
+for it with other problems.<p>
