Subject: Connection to davmail over IMAP returns error
Date: Sun, 25 Dec 2016 05:56:18 -0500

Hello,

This happens while configuring Gnus to connect to MS Exchange server
over davmail. I configured davmail to connect to MS Exchange. Davmail and
Gnus are on same machine. I checked through another email client
(Thunderbird) that the configuration in davmail is correct and I am able
to view the email.

Emacs is on Windows 7.

In Gnus I put in the below config in .gnus.el
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnml ""))
(setq mail-sources '((imap :server "127.0.0.1"
                            :port 1143
                            :authentication login
                            :user "myemailaddress"
                            :stream network)))

Tried to connect to the server (davmail) at localhost:1143 and got the
below stacktrace.

Here is the stacktrace,
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Imap-mailbox-data is nil, prop
recent value 0 mailbox nil buffer  *imap source*")
   signal(error ("Imap-mailbox-data is nil, prop recent value 0 mailbox
nil buffer  *imap source*"))
   error("Imap-mailbox-data is nil, prop %s value %s mailbox %s buffer
%s" recent 0 nil #<buffer  *imap source*>)
   imap-mailbox-put(recent 0)

Emacs 25 had a new implementation of imap in Emacs, so this bug is
probably gone by now.
