Shared IMAP Mailboxes

[Dan Vuksanovich]

Hi,

I have some IMAP mailboxes that users are sharing. With
Outlook Express, everything works fine. With Outlook
2003, however, when someone deletes a message from the
shared mailbox, anyone else using that mailbox gets the
following error message whenever they synchronize:

"The UID of a message has changed unexpectedly. This
typically indicates a server bug. Your program may not
function properly after this."

My server does not have a bug, and my users are getting
tired of clicking OK whenever someone else deletes a
message in the shared mailbox. Is there any way to turn
these error messages off?

Thanks,
Dan Vuksanovich

This indicates a difference in how the IMAP commands are implemented between
OE and OL, I would guess, and there may be no way to address the issue. Try
enabling mail logging and examining the IMAP copmmands that are being
exchanged between the client and server. I wager that the command streams
are different between OE and OL.

I suspect that this is a server bug if it happens from more then one
client. If you happen to know, what type of server?
