SYMPTOMS
========

If an Internet Message Access Protocol, Version 4rev1 (IMAP4) user logs on to an
orphaned mailbox that has a home server property that is undefined, the
information store may stop responding and you may receive an access violation.

The stack trace is displayed as follows:

FramePtr RetAddr Param1 Param2 Param3 Function Name<BR/>
10f7fe14 006275af 11d53e18 11d53db8 00000000 STORE!SzDupSz+0xb<BR/>

10f7fee0 00501f71 11d10150 11d30f6e 00000012 STORE!IMAPCON::CbSubscribeUnsubscribe+0x258

CAUSE
=====

When an IMAP4 user issues a subscribe command, the information store tries to
make a copy of the home server property. If the home server property is null,
the STRCPY function does not work.

RESOLUTION
==========
