Sure, ethereal works just fine on Win32 it seems :)

Attached is a traffic log taken from the windows client (192.168.2.25),
connecting to the dovecot server (192.168.2.2).

There are 2 'issues' here: the first is, again, a very long wait during
a "send/receive" action done from Outlook 2003. After some time, this
action finished or timed-out, not sure there. Secondly, it ends with the
same issue, where Outlook 2003 never came through, and just kept hanging
(showing the progress bar).

If you need any more info, please ask. We are very eager to track this
issue down (as it affects a lot of our clients).

Thanks,
   Marc
