The response of FETCH (BODYSTRUCTURE) command of IMAP violates RFC 3501 in Exchange Server 2019 and 2016

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

In Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 or Exchange Server 2016, consider the following scenario:
  • You send an email message that has an attached email message to User A. 
  • The attached email has more than two recipients in the To line.  
  • User A uses the mobile application that connects to Exchange Server by using Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP).
  • User A can't download the email message and the mobile application may crash.
In this situation, when you run the FETCH (BODYSTRUCTURE) command of IMAP, you may find a space is inserted between each recipient. This violates RFC 3501. For example, there's a space between brackets:
(("user1" NIL "user1" "mydomain.local") ("user2" NIL "user2" "mydomain.local"))
