After some more research, and some emails exchanges from others that have been troubleshooting OL2002's IMAP problems, I think I have a better idea of what the problem. It seems that Outlook can't handle responses as quickly as Cyrus sends them, and it doesn't queue them. It just ignores them. I found a post where one admin had inserted an artificial delay (10-20 microseconds) to all IMAP responses sent by Cyrus, and claimed this made a huge improvement.
I know this is a kludgy work-around, but at this point it's better that nothing. Can anyone point me in the right direction to accomplish this? I'm hoping there's just a configuration parameter I can add somewhere...
You're right, this is a hack. Its funny that the problem is that the server is "too fast". Where have you ever heard that before?
There is no config parameter. Probably the easiest place to do this would be in the prot layer (lib/prot.c), but you *may* have to do it on a per command/response basis, which means touching a lot of code in imapd.c and index.c
