Yes, he replied me.

Ehmm... maybe... or not. His answer was, that TIdIMAP4 seems to work in 
Indy10. But he mentioned no solution for Indy9.

Ciaran's reply:

"Indy 9 can only retrieve complete messages from servers that send out
an email terminator CRLF.CRLF at the end of the message (I think there
is a comment to this effect at the start of later TIdIMAP4.pas
versions).  Some servers do not do this, and Indy 9 can hang waiting
for the CRLF.CRLF.

Indy 10 uses a different mechanism for retrieving, that uses a
byte-count field, which seems to work with all servers.  Indy 10's
TIdIMAP4 is significantly better than Indy 9, particularly with servers
whose "unsolicited responses" cannot be turned off (these are typically
updates of the status of the current mailbox).  Some others have got
Indy 10 working on CBuilder6 but you may need to check the other
newsgroups here to find out how."
