[KLUG Members] Evolution IMAP error

Hi folks,

This is weird. Evolution 1.0.1 can see all my mail folders on our IMAP 
server (GroupWise running IMAP agent), but I can't retrieve messages. I 
get the error message:

Error while 'Refreshing folder':
"Unexpected response from IMAP server: by www.kalamazoo.k12.mi.us; <date 
and time info>

However, with Moxilla Mail (Linux) and Eudora (W2K), I can use IMAP just 
fine to the same server. I even tried specifying the IP address of the 
server in my Evolution account setup, but get the same error. (Our DNS 
is weird sometimes.)

Oddly enough, Evolution has no problem viewing my mail via IMAP at my ISP.

Any ideas or pointers in the right direction are appreciated.
