Is IMAP broken? It takes forever to download attachments, and more often
than not, it
just fails. On one occasion, the network log showed:

"The harmony of the universe knows only one musical form - the legato;
while the symphony of number knows only its opposite - the staccato. All
attempts to reconcile this discrepancy are based on the hope that an
accelerated staccato may appear to our senses as a legato."
