Fetchin messages from CItadel imap server fails: missing closing ")"

Created attachment 302367 [details] Screenshot showing the exact error I have a Citadel (citadel.org) mail server with IMAP running at home. When I try to access it through IMAP evolution says: "Error fetching new messages: missing closing ')' on fetch response". I do get to see al the available folders, so I know I can connect to the server and read from it. The connection works fine through Thunderbird.
Please see https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging (and reset the status from NEEDINFO to NEW after providing a log)
OK, I recieved a request to provide a logfile. For this I logged in with a testaccount (Tinus Testcase) and created a tinus account on the mail-server. This way my (working) gmail account doesn't add noise to the logfile. I configured evolution to connect to this account. Then I ran: CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io evolution >& evolog I uploaded the "evolog" logfile. Hope this helps. Please inform me if I can do anything more.

I am not using Citadel anymore. If this issue is not reproducible I suppose the best thing to do is close this bug-report? Not sure what the appropriate protocol is here...
Okay, thanks for the information, I'm closing this. I suppose the problem was this response from the server: * 1 FETCH (UID 3591 RFC822.SIZE 622 RFC822.HEADER {194} Return-Path: Tinus_Testcase Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2015 02:00:00 +0200 Subject: =?UTF-8?B?eA==?= Message-ID: <553D3757-00000E07@c.huttiesroow.nl> From: "Tinus Testcase" <tinus@c.huttiesroow.nl> FLAGS (\Recent)) That "RFC822.HEADER" on a new line causes the error, because it (together with the "{194}") should be on the preceding line, thus it looks like a server-side issue.
