[Dovecot] Missing Messages on IOS device

[David Morsberger]

I checked again and I did not see any log entries on the server or client. Not sure how to debug iPhone/iPad.

I'm sure this isn't a bug in dovecot per se because the behavior is different on the different client types. I was just wondering if someone else has seen similar behavior before and worked through it.

Thanks,
David
