RFC-822 Compatibility Error message using IMAP with Exchange
I recently started get the following error message:
The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: The requested message could not be converted to an RFC-822 compatible format.
I use Thunderbird with multiple IMAP accounts and only get the message on an IMAP account using MS exchange. I've moved everything out of my inbox to other folders and still get the error message. I even tried using POP to clear any bad messages that were getting hung up somehow, to no avail.
I can still send and receive messages through Thunderbird, but am no longer able to receive anything on my Blackberry using IMAP. Plus I have to click Ok to get rid of the error message every time I check mail.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Problem persists for me. Configuration is Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 talking to Exchange 2003. Going into OWA didn't resolve it. Any other troubleshooting I can do? The exchange hosting company wasn't particularly helpful nor did they want to support Thunderbird.

It is not enough to go into OWA, you must identify an delete the problem entries. They may be meeting invitations, or other items that are not normal e-mail messages.

Tried that. The problem is, without access to the server, I have no idea what the "problem entries" might be.
I deleted all the meeting invites, undeliverable messages, and other oddball stuff through OWA but still get the error.

Re: RFC-822 Compatibility Error message using IMAP with Exchange
For those of you who are connecting to a Exchange server - the process that worked for me since I don't have web access is to use exmerge. I moved all the messages I wanted to keep to another temp folder then used exmerge to remove everything else from the inbox without processing the sub-folders. Once I did this, my error message was gone.
