Thank you for the help!

That's what i thought, so I didn't expect this problem. Both request, horde imap
and php imap (imap_fetchheader()) return just a single email. Maybe it's the
internet connection, but I tried it from a server on my local computer as well
as from an external webserver. Anyway, i will try follow your suggestion to log
the imap traffic.

ok, i understand. thanks again, I was just surprised that the output of the
structure (Horde_Imap_Client_Data_Fetch::getStructure()) was in utf8 but the
envelope wasn't.
