Thanks Mark. I wasn't aware of the single buffer for all mail_fetch***() functions, but I'm converting the results to std::strings directly afterwards so it doesn't affect the app.
Turning on debugging telemetry showed that the message is transmitted truncated by the server. This is the Gmail IMAP server. I guess I'll have to download the messages in parts and then glue them back together again. Thanks for your help!
