Welcome to a small and exclusive club.

> the other is empty file.

Exactly.

Neither does anyone else.  Join the effort to figure out the problem would
be a good start.

Had you searched the list well, you would have found that there is no known
solution (nor cause) for this problem.  And that upgrading php/horde/imp
probably won't help.

If you want to try upgrading anyway, you can try my apache/php rpms
at https://mail.ph.utexas.edu/patches/ and see if they help.  The only
other person with the problem says they didn't help, but you never know.

I've run both the stock rpms and my own, and never run into this problem.

> I would appreciate any help or information!

Please provide details of your setup.  If enough people having this problem
can contribute such information *maybe* we can find the common thread(s)
that cause it.

That is a wild card.  The rest of us are using 2001a from RH.
>From the horde/imp/docs/INSTALL file:

        IMPORTANT NOTE: c-client support is broken in PHP 4.2.2 & 4.2.3.
        If you are using either of these versions you can not use any
        'imap-2002' releases or else IMP will not function properly. If this
        is your situation, you have 2 options:

          1. If using PHP 4.2.3, you can apply this patch:
          http://lists.horde.org/archives/imp/Week-of-Mon-20021111/026936.html

          2. Downgrade to using the 'imap-2001a' source code.

So, you might want to consider a change based on the above.  You could
try using my rpms which would move you to php 4.3.0.
