Mail headers stripped in IMAP client

I have one user who notified a strange problem. Some of the emails headers
are getting stripped when he views those mails in IMAP client, but same
emails headers are viewed perfectly fine in Outlook 2003.

He is able to view headers for all the new mails what he is receiving but
not able to view specific mails headers specific to a previous date.
Previuosly his mailbox was lying on a different exchange server which got
decommissioned and his mailbox got moved to new Exchange Server.

User is happy with new mails but he is insisting on seeing his old mails
headers in IMAP client which he was able to view previously.

Any specific troubleshooting on this ?

You can try a different IMAP client and see if it shows the headers; that
might narrow it down to a client problem.

Tests with IMAP access via both Outlook Express (OE6SP1) and Opera (9.24)
gave the same results, whereas Outlook 2003 using MAPI did not show the
corrupted messages.

The messages are not corrupted.

Corrupted term simply means those messages for which some header information
is not seen.

Those mesages are perfectly seen in Outlook with all the headers intact but
not in IMAP client. All the new mails delivered to this mailbox are seen
perfectly fine with all the headers.
