I'm getting a strange problem with APPEND and Thunderbird 0.8. This was working fine in the CVS version from June 8 and is not so fine as of June 20. It works fine using Pine.

It appears that imap is hanging when trying to append to a folder. Right now, an imap process has the file open for about 1/2 hour. It wrote the headers out, but not the body. When Thunderbird disconnects from it, it closes the file, but does not finish writing the email.

Here's the difference in the commands sent by Pine and Thunderbird from rawlogs. These are different accounts.

(Thunderbird) (.in file) 2 append "Sent" (\Seen) {520+} Message-ID: 42BAC447.7050901@hostopia.com (rest of headers and message follows)

The .out file is empty

(Pine) (.in file) 00000003 CAPABILITY 03000004 APPEND Sent {392} Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2005 19:35:42 -0400 (EDT) (rest of headers and message follows)

03000005 LOGOUT

(.out file)
