Outlook IMAP SELECT Simon Tyler 25.01.2006 11:56:03 Just noticed Outlook issuing an IMAP SELECT of the form: 000U SELECT "" This refers to a mailbox with no name whatever that means. My server cannot handle such mailboxes. No mailbox with this empty name was returned in the LIST Outlook issued just before. Any idea why outlook is doing this? Simon

Could it be that the user's list of subscribed folders includes one with an empty name? Pete Maclean

Re: Outlook IMAP SELECT Simon Tyler 25.01.2006 18:21:02 That was my first thought but it is not the case. It issued a LIST "" "%" and got some folders and then a LIST "" "%.%" and got no folders. The next command was the select. This sequence is not the only one that causes this and we have also seen it without the two LIST commands.

Re: Outlook IMAP SELECT "Pete Maclean" <pete[ at ]maclean.com> 26.01.2006 13:46:54 I have an IMAP server that I routinely test with Outlook and I have never seen it try to select a mailbox with an empty name. May I ask what version of Outlook are you seeing this behaviour with?

Re: Outlook IMAP SELECT Simon Tyler 26.01.2006 14:32:03 I have Outlook 2003 SP1. I am using the Gordano Messaging Suite IMAP server if that makes any difference. I think it would take someone with knowledge of the Outlook code to throw much light on this one.
