SYMPTOMS
When you download messages from an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) server, you may not see the downloaded messages.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if two folders have the same name but the names are capitalized differently. Some IMAP servers treat the letters in titles of destination folders as case sensitive.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, do not use the same name for two different destination folders.



MORE INFORMATION
You also see this behavior when you use Microsoft Outlook Express with an IMAP server. For additional information about this problem with Outlook Express, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
