IMAP to IMAP problem

[David Wallin <david.wallin@xxxxx>]

Since yesterday I've had problems syncing one of my local IMAP servers with the
remote one, the error message is below. I have another machine, also syncing
against the remote server that has no problem syncing so I've pretty much ruled
out that the problem lies elsewhere.  I could just delete the local settings and
start over but that would take some time, is there some other way of fixing
this?


cheers,
