Subject: Error in IMAP command received by server

Hi,

it's me again, at least I did not subscribe this mailing-list
for nothing ! :-)

My problem is my IMAP server (a COURIER-IMAP) returns error
messages : "Error in IMAP command received by server". This
seems to be a very generic message. I get it at connection
(it seems to come from my config because with an old config
file, it is ok) and when i update remote data, when a message
comes but not always ... ??

Does someone 's got an idea ?
Is there a way to trace messages exchanged by pine and server
to see which one cause error message ?

Thanks in advance.

PS : Part of my journal showing error messages (even one during
composing this mail !)

The Courier IMAP server departs from the IMAP protocol in various ways.
This could be a problem with their implementation.

Try running pine -d9, and analyzing the .pine-debug file around where
the error message appears. It should tell you which IMAP command the
server had a problem with.
