You're right, I didn't! Sorry for that.

But what I did not mention either, is that my desktop neighbor, that uses pine
and IMAP against the very same server, haven't experienced none of my
"problems". These been: counting erros, folders resynchronization(?) and a
freezed MUA.
Does that new info help you to help me (us)?
If you need any other info more please advice.
