I'm having a slight problem with Dovecot (0.99.10-0.rc2, on Debian woody). When using mozilla 1.4, there is an error message from the mailer just after login, but nothing in dovecot logs.

How could I fix this problem ?
You have a large mailbox and Mozilla tries to send a huge command to Dovecot. [...]
If this is Mozilla's problem for not cutting up the command into smaller pieces - I believe the rfc limits the length of an IMAP command? - maybe a bugreport could be filed in the project's bugzilla. In the long run, that might be better than enlarging the buffer to a certain maximum amount of messages, which could prove to be a game without end.
How about other imap clients? Do they split up long commands?
