Hello

I have an urgent problem I'm having trouble resolving! I have an inbox
on a courier-imap server running on Debian Linux 2.2.14

On an older PC running Outlook express 6, I get the following message
when trying to access the mail inbox directory, and it wont display
the contents of the inbox at all:

* Folder could not be displayed.
Outlook express could not open this folder.
This could be due to:
Low disk space
Low memory

I have also setup a newer laptop running Outlook 2003. This will
download the messages in the Inbox, but then drop out and give me this
message:

Task 'Checking for new mail in subscribed folders on Processed Email.'
reported error (0x8004DF0B) : 'Outlook is unable to download folder
(null) from the IMAP e-mail server for account Processed Email. Error:
The connection to the server is unavailable. Outlook must be online
or connected to complete this action. If you continue to receive this
message, contact your server administrator or Internet service
provider (ISP).'

The other day, we couldnt get the mail on box pc's and that was due to
a corrupt message header which i manually removed from the linux
filesystem an d it started working again. This time, this did not
work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Regards...
