[Dovecot] Message display corrupted or missing in Netscape 7.0 and Mozilla 1.3

[Steven Enderle]

Hi Gasha,

thanks for your prompt answer! But sadly, spam ain't our only problem 
(hell, i got 660 mails in my spam folder in the last 30 days!!) and it 
ain't the problem for message display:

It worked perfectly with popa3d! We are using that system for years now. 
The message display problem is limited to the yet switched workstations, 
all i did is configuring netscape as i have written down to do it here 
at our site. Some workstations are still running pop3, with no problems 
at all like they did always. The difference from configuring pop<->imap 
is following:

==
Skip all pop stuff, select the same server for imap.

Messages are checked at startup and then every minute, empty trash on 
exit and "only show subscribed folders" is disabled! All other options 
are left as they are. The Netscape installation is absolutly identical 
over all workstations, even the signature.
==

I also still got my pop3 config running parallel (just in case), and the 
spam is displayed in excellent 16.x million colours and all details, 
with imap and also pop3. (Will i order the taiwanese soap or the mini 
fridge for my car?)

So the spam mail ain't the problem. I am sure, the problem must be 
somewhere between netscape, dovecot or the chair i am sitting in.

Steven
