This is because you are using IMAP and according to Ipswitch, Microsoft has
a bug in their client where by because of an improperly formed header, the
message is not downloaded... I have been told that if there is a leading
space in some part of the header, it will cause this to happen....
I live with this problem and it really irritates me, but I like Outlook
Express and IMAP enough that it all evens out in the end.
If anyone knows of a solution to this, please feel free to share... and
please don't give the canned "check the knowledge base" answer, as the
solution given there doesn't work !
Thanks,
Jim
