I have always run into this on OE 6. Outlook XP, at my work does not seem to suffer from this problem. In fact, if I "corrupt" a message on my home computer with OE 6, it looks deleted and read. When I click on it, it says "Message is no longer available."
If I go to work, the message is marked as unread and not deleted. I can read and download the message and any attachments just fine. I would say this is an OE problem, because OE is not properly reflecting what the server says via the IMAP protocol. Just for info, my cyrus setup: SASLv1, imapd-1.6.24 solaris 6 Matt Hoskins ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter A.
