That is exactly what I get!  I'm glad it is not just me.

>From all I can tell its something that was changed in 4.0.4.  Try setting the 
imap server (in your 2.2.x) to the actual name of the machine (the A record or 
an /etc/hosts entry) and see if the problems go away.  I'm still trying to 
compose tests and whatnot.  strace nor tcpdump reveiled anything useful.  What 
actually fails is the imap_status() call.  All other imap_*() functions seem to 
work ok.  Here is a simple script you can try: (written by Anil -- taken off 
the php docs page I guess? :-)

<?php

$mbox = imap_open("{cname.domain.com}","login",'password', OF_HALFOPEN);
#$mbox = imap_open("{realname.domain.com}","login",'password', OF_HALFOPEN);
#$mbox = imap_open("{localhost}","login",'password', OF_HALFOPEN);

var_dump($mbox);

$status = imap_status($mbox,"{cname.domain.com}INBOX",SA_ALL);
#$status = imap_status($mbox,"{realname.domain.com}INBOX",SA_ALL);
#$status = imap_status($mbox,"{localhost}INBOX",SA_ALL);

var_dump($status);

if($status) {
  print("Messages:   ". $status->messages   )."<br>\n";
  print("Recent:     ". $status->recent     )."<br>\n";
  print("Unseen:     ". $status->unseen     )."<br>\n";
  print("UIDnext:    ". $status->uidnext    )."<br>\n";
  print("UIDvalidity:". $status->uidvalidity)."<br>\n"; 
} else
  print "imap_status failed:"; 
 
imap_close($mbox);
?>
