The problem is the 'From' header. I patched imap/message.c so that rather than saying if (*p <= ' ') return IMAP_MESSAGE_BADHEADER; it says if (*p < ' ') return IMAP_MESSAGE_BADHEADER; I haven't seen any bad side-effects from this. I've been running it for over a month. I made this change because HotMail adds this header, and dragging messages in Outlook Express from a HotMail account to an IMAP account fails without the patch.
