IMAP is removing the original content from the mail, as can be seen from below example (The original message has been removed from the bounce message.)
Question: Is there any config that I can provide to IMAP while connecting to always send the original message?
Example :
Return-Path: <>
To: [email protected]
From: Mail Administrator <[email protected]>
Reply-To: <[email protected]>
Subject: Mail System Error - Returned Mail with Subject: Hi from a

IMAP - internet message access protocol is a protocol to access emails on a mail server. This does not dictate what is provided by the server when an Email is requested via IMAP. I would suggest posting the mail server you are running as there may be configuration settings on the mail server that can do this.
