First: are you running the server in agent mode?  In the *Server*
buffer (reach using `^' in group buffer), does the server you are
using have "(agent)" by it?  I have had similar problems in the past
when accidentally using the server in agent mode when I had no reason
no reason to do so.

Also, could you set `imap-debug' to t, reproduce the problem, and send the
contents (or partial contents) of the *imap-debug* buffer?
