Actually, dimp/docs/INSTALL states : "The following items are not required, but are strongly RECOMMENDED" Exactly. Because with PHP > 5.2.5, "Using older versions of the JSON encoder may result in the JSON output to the browser being prematurely terminated, resulting in incomplete or blank screens." So not required, but recommended to view things such as, for example, broken messages. I understand your point, but another consequence of this bug is that the folder parsing is simply stopped when a broken messages is found, resulting in an incomplete message list.

with PHP > 5.2.5 Should read "with PHP < (less than) 5.2.5".

I'm running PHP Version 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.5 As dimp/docs/INSTALL states, you need PHP 5.2.5+. Actually, dimp/docs/INSTALL states : "The following items are not required, but are strongly RECOMMENDED"

I don't have the ticket number handy, but this sounds a lot like previous problems with json encoding - are you sure you have mbstring/iconv working, and a recent PHP 5.2.x? I'm running PHP Version 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.5 mbstring and iconv are enabled : iconv support enabled iconv implementation glibc iconv library version 2.7 iconv.input_encoding ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1 iconv.internal_encoding ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1 iconv.output_encoding ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1 Multibyte Support enabled Multibyte string engine libmbfl Multibyte (japanese) regex support enabled Multibyte regex (oniguruma) version 4.4.4 Multibyte regex (oniguruma) backtrack check On

Hi ! I get the following Javascript error (with js debug enabled) when I open a mailbox which contains a message with incorrect headers : " onException: TypeError-'this.element' is Null or not an object " Everything works fine with Firefox or with IMP (both with IE7 and Firefox). The message contains 8-bit data in the "From:" line : From: GÃ©rard XXX<xxx.xxx@gmail.com> An Amavis header underlines the problem : "X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER SECTION, Non-encoded 8-bit data (char E9 hex)" If Javascript debugging is disabled in Dimp, the message listing stops at the concerned message ; ie the user thinks some messages disappeared from his mailbox.
