I'm seeing a "Floating Point Error" in CFX_IMAP4, how do I fix this?

 

A1:

You are almost certainly using ColdFusion MX 6 or above. In the CFX API there was a minor change that appears to pass all values across to the CFX tag as a floating point value even if the value is an integer. When CFX_IMAP4 does have a port specified, it defaults to 143 however the API seems to change this to 143.0000000 which causes the error. If you specify port="143" even when you don't think you need it, it should solve your problem. A fix is in the works for this issue.
