Header download for the  folder did not complete. Could not synchronize cached message flags with IMAP server. Account:, Server:  , Protocol: IMAP, Server Response



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the following conditions exist:
 * The Outlook Express client is connected to Exchange 2000 Server through a dial-up connection.
 * The Outlook Express client is trying to download a lot of information. For example, the client may be trying to download a Sent Mail folder that has accumulated a number of messages over time.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
When Exchange 2000 Server passes the requested information to the server, the data resides on the server before it can be fully downloaded. When the data that is being downloaded is too large, a timeout may occur.
