Since updating to Build 7914 two weeks ago IMAP has been worse than ever. I get twice an many as the normal support tickets about email and my own Thunderbird install is very wonky. Messages marked read mark themselves as unread, messages deleted return a second or two later, and drafts still don't delete. Even the webmail IMAP client doesn't like it as the bug where webmail users can't send because it is "saving a draft" has returned. The most recent build should be nicknamed the regression bug build. Going through my email every morning for the last couple weeks has been an exercise in frustration as I have to mark every message read 4 or 5 times before it takes and delete every messages 2 - 4 times before it stays gone. The final candle on the cake for me was that it regressed a bug going all the way back to the introduction of version 17 and renamed my mailconfig.xml file as mailconfig.old.xml which killed Declude and caused the proc folder to fill and not empty. That took me almost 2 hours to troubleshoot. Customers were not happy.
