I suppose you mean you are trying to use *IMAP* (not "smtp")? But you 
haven't said whether you are using a local folder or an IMAP folder 
(server folder) for downloading mail.

Once again, you need to check if anything has gone wrong with the IMAP 
connection.  Please set vm-imap-keep-trace-buffers to t in your .vm file 
and look at the contents of the trace buffer after getting the error. 
You can send me the contents to verify.
