Description of problem:

I use thunderbird and connect to a local dovecot with IMAP.

When navigating to that folder in thunderbird it shows some messages, but keeps "spinning".

So for some reason thunderbird keeps retrying even though dovecot reports an error. That trashes the disc and eats power. Should the issue be addressed in dovecot or in thunderbird? What does the error message mean?

(I recently removed all .msf files in .thunderbird in order to rebuild cache - as adviced on some mozilla-pages. Apparently thunderbird rebuilds the cache in the background, and that can explain why it is trying to connect to this old folder.)

Restarting dovecot while thunderbird was running seemed to solve it. So perhaps dovecot had a problem?


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

thunderbird-3.0-2.1.beta2.fc11.i586
dovecot-1.2-0.rc2.1.fc11.i586

Comment 1 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2009-05-21 13:17:10 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 2 Michal Hlavinka 2009-05-25 15:03:41 UTC
Hi,

I can see you've reported this against fedora 10 but you has specified rawhide packages. Are you using rawhide packages in F 10 or are you using rawhide system?

Unfortunately I can't answer your question right now. As you can see, both packages are not completely stable versions.

Could you please retest this with newer dovecot package?

You can find new packages here:

Thanks

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 13:37:33 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.
