IMAP Error in Outlook - duplicate UID

I have the IMAP system up and running in Labs 3.2 on a Windows server. I have configured Outlook to access the repository via IMAP and selected two of our Sites as IMAP favorites. After a few tries, Outlook populates itself with information about our repository, though this process seems to take f

Here is the information that is provided in the dialogue from Outlook:

Your server reported a UID that does not comply with the IMAP standard. This typically indicates a server bug. Your program may not function properly after this.

MsgSeqNum 7, New UID 4133. Prev UID: 4129, Next UID: 4132.

I have seen the same problem. Besides being annoying, it doesn't appear to hurt anything. It only happens on some Alfesco implementations. Someone else reported it as an issue: http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-6841

I don't understand the actual cause, but it appears to be a single content item that is causing the trouble. After deleting it I don't get the error anymore.

Could you confirm which version of Alfresco you are using. Thanks.

At that point in time I was seeing it with 3.4 Enterprise RC 1. I am still seeing in 3.4.0.

Hello,

For your information, I have exactly the same error message with Alfresco Enterprise v3.4.1. Outlook 2007 SP2 complains every now and then that

"Your server reported a UID that does not comply with the IMAP standard. This typically indicates a server bug" etc.

What is really weird is that I had used IMAP interaction with the same Alfresco server without ever seeing this error. The only change since then has been to re-install Outlook 2007. Could this explain the error message?

Thanks for reading.
Kind regards
