I just did some testing myself with Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 6. I couldn't get either client to hang after doing APPENDs (with IDLE enabled). OE does close the connection after calling IDLE after the final APPEND however. I'm not convinced that this is a server issue. I'd like to see what happens against a different server that supports IDLE (eg, UW IMAP). -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.
