Environment

Novell GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2
Novell GroupWise client
Novell GroupWise Post Office Agent
 

Situation

In a GroupWise client you have extra IMAP account that you sync via Send / Receive option. After successful authentication and downloading all new mails, you will see on a POA screen:
 
Return from IMAP [890F]
 
There are no errors on a client site, neither it negatively affects a sync of IMAP account.

Resolution

The problem is caused by a client that sends empty char command upon logout. You will see it after you enable Diag logging level on POA. You will see similar lines like:
 
13:16:20 736 Processing update: folder record (a3)
13:16:20 736   Locked Database: userual.db
13:16:20 736   Unlocked Database: userual.db
