Cause

Two objtMessageView objects are used when an IMAP4 client issues a SELECT command or a STATUS command for a folder. However, the Exchange server does not release one of the objtMessageView objects for the previous folder when the IMAP4 client issues another SELECT command or another STATUS command for a different folder. When the mailbox has more than 250 folders, the IMAP4 client exhausts the maximum number of the objtMessageView objects on the Exchange server, and this issue occurs.
