[Dovecot] Problem with preserving MIME format with Dovecot IMAP and MS Outlook client
Hello all,
Apologies for the repost, but I am really struggling to solve this problem...
I have installed Dovecot 2.0.19 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have set up a very basic IMAP configuration. I have two different laptops running MS Outlook (one MacOS, one Windows 7) and I have configured both to connect to the Dovecot service. My problem is, emails in MIME format that I synchronise from one MS Outlook client are not being correctly decoded as MIME messages on the other client. Instead, the message is rendered in plaintext, starting with the lines:
This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible.
--B_3426360453_22814Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="B_3426360453_4099"
--B_3426360453_4099Content-type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable
Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening?
The output from dovecot -n is:
# 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
passdb { driver = pam }
protocols = " imap" ssl_cert =
userdb { driver = passwd }
Thanks!

Have you tried other clients? Maybe the mails are actually broken? In any case it doesn't really look like a Dovecot problem.
