SYMPTOMS
If you connect to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port 143 on an Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP) server, and then attempt to log on to a different server, the logon request may be authenticated by the second server instead of the first. You may be logged on successfully, but in the response you receive, the trailing slash mark (/) is missing from the second server's uniform resource locator (URL). For example, the response may appear similar to the following:
OK [REFERRAL imap://server
;AUTH=*domain
] LOGIN completed
This URL is not compatible with Request for Comments (RFC) 2192, which indicates that the URL in an IMAP referral should be in the following format:
imap://server
/
