[Dovecot] Timeout during APPEND

[martin f krafft]

Dear list,

I am running dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian server.

One user reports continuous problems synchronising her mailbox via
IMAP (offlineimap, via SSH tunnel or SSL socket). It seems that she
has a large, locally-created message, but the uplink bandwidth seems
to be not enough to push it before dovecot times out the APPEND
command.

The error/exception happens inside offlineimap's Python imaplib2.py
file:

  APPEND => no response after 30.0 secs

I do not know the IMAP protocol all that well, but it seems to me
like this is broken somewhere.

Could you please help me figure out the problem?
