IMAP support seems to be very weak
Synchronization fails because eM Client doesn’t seems to be able to parse courier-imap answers … while even outlook manage so …
To bad this client sounded promising with it quite good iCloud support …

Update:
I’ve just tried the beta 6.
Small change: message 126 is now able to be parsed, but it chockes on the next one …
And by the way I’ve though version 6 will support IMAP folder subscriptions

Hi,
thank you for reporting this. Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with any solution because the problem REALLY does not lie on our side. It is a bug on your server so please contact your mail server administrator and report the problem.

Nice try.
It might be a quirk of courier-imap but nevertheless it works perfectly with thunderbird or even outlook.
So please don’t give me this “contact your mail server administrator” answer :@ !
BTW I’m the mentioned mail server admin and the courier-imap version I use is the lastest official version from ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Hello,
We have tested this many times and log you have sent shows that it is definitely server side issue.
with regards

BTW
I’ve just tested my current Mailbox without any problems on: Thunderbird, outlook 2010, outook 2013, Apple Mail, iOS Mail, and Roundcube.
And its fail with eM Client … Server side ? right …
The issue is definitely server side. In the middle of a normal response the server returns “* BYE [ALERT] Fatal error: Invalid argument”. Other clients may not trigger the same behavior, but the fault is still definitely at the server’s end.

Yeah yeah and the fact it works perfectly with 6 other IMAP clients doesn’t tell you that might been something wrong in your code right ?
It could be a courier-imap quirk gracefully handled by the other IMAP client ? I don’t know and honestly I don’t really care.
eM Client just fails where all the other clients works that all what I see.
BTW I’ve just tried with mutt it works too … Then it is 7 clients that works well …
But yeah you know, just keep the good atitude don’t try to fix your thing because it is the server fault.

I realize this link is several years old however please read thru - http://www.mail-archive.com/courier-i…
Perhaps some other items are altering the emails not Courier or eM Client. Without the email source/header information it is impossible to determine which piece of software is at fault.
