Can only download headers--not bodies--of email messages

Hello,

I've got my phone set to access my email (from a garden-variety commercial ISP) via IMAP. I get all the message headers, but when I mark a message for download, nothing happens (even if I subsequently hit Send/Receive from the menu again)--all I can ever see is the headers and not the content of any of the messages.

Also, the Send/Receive sequence never completes. It makes the following progression:

If I'm not mistaken, downloading only the headers is a set up to attempt to save on data transmission and thus cost (not for me b/c I have MEdia Works).

I don't know if that will remedy your problem, but I can positively tell you that mine will download the header and then I have to either select from the menu soft key or tap the blue activation button again? (I can't remember for certain, since I've only downloaded my e-mail from peoplepc a couple times)

It makes sense that it doesn't download everything--whether or not I'm paying for it--just to save time.

On my phone, when I go to the messaging window, I have the following list:


1 Text Messages
2 Outlook E-Mail
3 IMAP4
4 mMode Email
5 Multimedia Messages


IMAP4 is what is configured with the information for my ISP. I select that, and I get to the list of email m...

It looks like my problem downloading email message bodies from my ISP [i]only[/i] happens when I used IMAP. I reconfigured my phone to hit the same ISP with POP--and it worked!

Any idea why the phone's mail client would have problems processing IMAP?
