No, I didn't, and I don't intend to. What difference should this make?

The problem came up from one day to another. This sounds strange, being
a software engineer myself, I know. usually I tell my customers, that it
is not possible that something changes without interaction of a user.
But I am not aware of any changes on the client side. One other client
and some telnet session show me, that IMAP is able to provide the needed
data. It might be, that the server does it the wrong way, I'm far far
away from being an IMAP guru.
