Dear Maintainer,

I can connect to an IMAP server with Balsa but I can see the mails in it.
I suspect a bad configuration on the server (where I’m just a user) but I can’t
prove it.
In fact, I can log in that server with openssl and with Geary, open mailboxes
and read mail with both of them.
With Balsa, I can only see the number of mails in each mailboxes but I can’t
read them.
I get this message in a popup window if I try to open the Drafts mailbox:

Could not access message 1 in mailbox “Drafts”.

I also see lots of times the same message in the notifications:

IMAP mailbox Drafts: Connection has been severed.
Reconnecting…

If you want logs or command-lines outputs, tell me the ones you need.

Yours,
nicolas

What do you think of my suggestion that perhaps balsa should be
removed from Debian? https://bugs.debian.org/1094887

Thank you,
