I don't use dimap, and haven't been losing mail :-)

I have seen other comments about dimap problems, but at the same time I have 
seen reports of people using it very successfully.  It may be that some of 
the problems are distro-specific - I know certain other problems are.  I'm 
looking forward to getting the Enterprise kde-pim.  It sounds to be very 
robust.

Meanwhile,  I struggle on with this problem.  It never happened in the past, 
and I'm sure that in the end either I will find the problem or an update will 
cure it.  I've used imap for around 3 years, and there's no way I'm giving up 
now :-)
