Description Brad 2003-03-30 18:58:25 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.9 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030314

Description of problem:
I have a Red Hat 7.3 mail server running kernel version 2.4.18-27.8.0, and a Red
Hat 8.0 mail client running kernel version 2.4.18-27.8.0 and using imap to
interogate the mail server. From rpm -qi on the mail server, the imap version  is:

imap-2001a-10.src.rpm

Often when I click on an unread message in my Inbox, I get "Error while
'Retrieving message xxxxx': No such file or directory." There is no hard disk
activity on the mail server when I do this, and it happens immeditely,
indicating to me that it is not even looking.

If I click on another message and then click back on the one with this error
message, often it will load OK, although sometimes I need to do this several
times to get it to load the email message.

This has only started to happen when I upgraded from evolution 1.0.8 to 1.2.3. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Evolution 1.2.3

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on mail message
2. Read error in the middle of the screen.
3.

Screen dump of Evolution error

This is a typical error message.

Can you follow the instructions at 
http://support.ximian.com/cgi-bin/ximian.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?&p_faqid=76
to get a trace of what's happening in the server traffic when you get this error?  

Also, are you connecting from more than one location to the mail server (as the
same user and accessing the same mailboxes)?

Comment 9 Brad 2003-04-02 01:37:19 EST

We only have 2 x imap users on the mail server (and ~30 POP3 users) and both are
only connecting from one site each.

Please see attachment for the test results.

Sorry about the multiple attachment files. It seems to re-submit the attachment
whenever you click "back" and then "forward" again.

Comment 11 Jeremy Katz 2003-04-08 20:52:03 EDT

Did you set CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG before running here?  There doesn't seem to be
any of the verbose output.

Comment 12 Jeremy Katz 2003-07-28 19:39:58 EDT

Closing due to lack of activity.
