Description Warren Togami 2003-09-12 02:58:59 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703

Description of problem:
http://togami.com/~warren/archive/2003/evolution-1.4.4-crash.mbox
When dovecot imap serves this message, it causes evolution-1.4.4 to crash. 
evolution-1.4.4 does not crash when it reads the same message from uw-imapd or a
local folder.

This is the dovecot part of the bug.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dovecot-0.99.10

Comment 1 Warren Togami 2003-09-12 03:05:20 UTC
This dovecot IMAP problem with this malformed message causes squirrelmail to be
confused, making the message unreadable.  Mozilla is however able to read the
message.

The evolution problem that this exposes is Bug 104289.

Timo suggested this patch which he believed would solve the problem, but after
extensive testing this particular problem seems unchanged.

http://dovecot.fi/
Please look at the two other patches that prevent dovecot crashes in other
corner cases.

Timo updated this patch which seems to fix this dovecot problem.  I am currently
running this in production for long term stability testing.

Please consider patching the other patches from Dovecot's homepage too.

Added all the patches for -6
