I have created an IMAP-Server. Now I am searching a way to force the client (in my case an iPhone) to reload a message, because it has changed on the server-side. Does somebody know a way to do this?

The body of a message is not allowed to change in IMAP; the only data item that may be changed for an existing message is the list of flags.
If you want to mimic a change in message body, you effectively have to tell your client that the original message was removed, and a new one created. You achieve the former by sending an
EXPUNGEresponse with the message’s original sequence number, and the latter by sending anEXISTSand/orRECENTresponse, after which the client would typically issue aFETCHcommand for the new message.
