Hi David,

Is your IMP server getting mail from a zVM IMAP server?  If so, I have the
same setup and have just confirmed what you reported.  This appears to be an
IMAP problem as I have checked a similar setup running with a different IMAP
server which works fine.

Contact me off list if this is your setup and we can discuss getting a fix
for this from IBM.
