help with imap folders
vm user
move to imap folders... I managed to make this work with google, but
not with my actual work place imap server. I am getting
Logging into the IMAP server...
vm-imap-protocol-error: IMAP protocol error: "expected UID,
RFC822.SIZE and (FLAGS list) in FETCH response"
this is using gnu emacs 23 and the latest trunk, using imap-ssl.
thanks for any clues,

Brilliant! Good decision :-) Good to see that Google imap works as well.

If you look at a list of your Emacs buffers, you would find a buffer
with a name like "trace of IMAP session ...". That has a list of the
commands that VM sent the IMAP server as well as the responses it has
received. Please post some of these contents.
My VM's trace looks like the following. The first line beginning with
"VM" is a request from VM, and the next line beginning with "VM" is the
response from the server and so on alternating betweenthe two. The
additional lines with "*" are responses are also responses from the
server. If you read the dialogue sequentially, it is pretty easy to
understand what is going on.
In the line that says "VM FETCH 1:1922 (UID RFC822.SIZE FLAGS)", VM is
asking the server for the unique id, the size and the flags for all the
messages in the positions 1 to 1922. My IMAP server coplied. It will
be interesting to see what your server did.
Cheers,
Uday

If you don't find a trace of IMAP session buffer, then please add this
line to your .emacs file:
(setq vm-imap-keep-trace-buffer t)
The system is supposed to set the variable to t as soon as it gets an
IMAP protocol error, thereby preserving the trace buffer, but I can't
be sure that it is working fully.

Darn, the server is returning the three things in a different order!
VM should be able to process that. I will do a fix.
