Can you reproduce it without your IMAP client? For example using  
imaptest (http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest) as the client and running:

./imaptest logout=0 - fetch=100 user=testuser pass=testpass  
host=imap.host.org

Or if you can give me access to some server where you can instruct me  
how to reproduce it, that would work too.
