Default Problems with FirstClass

I maintain an application that reads messages from IMAP servers. One of my
customers is trying to connect to FirstClass IMAP version 9.206. He says
that
Thunderbird works fine and can see messages, but my application does not.
Looking
at the tcp session dump, I can see that we issue the SELECT
"INBOX/subfolder" command, and the server responds with "0 EXISTS 0 RECENT".
That *does*
mean that there are no messages in the folder, correct? Any idea why
Thunderbird
would work on this? Is there a way that Thunderbird can log its tcp session
so I
can see what it is doing?

You probably mean:

* 0 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT

Perhaps Thunderbird is configured to use POP3 for this account, so it
probably downloaded all the messages and deleted them from the server, and
is displaying the messages it already downloaded.

No, but you should be able to use tcpdump to capture the session.
