Thunderbird 3.1.6 (Linux) with Sieve addon

TLS auth happens and then a timeout is displayed

Does the TLS auth succeed, or is that where it hangs? The Tbird add-on as protocol logging facility, so you could check that to find out where it hangs exactly.

Unfortunately, such issues are notoriously hard to debug when the problems don't occur consistently. I'm hoping Timo can provide some additional insight on this.

hi..

im using dovecot 2.0.7 on centos with Managesieve 0.2.1-12.1

from time to time my users get a timeout im using default values and i dont see any errors in my logfiles..

any ideas what can caus the timeout ? What client are those users using? How exactly does the timeout manifest, i.e. at what activity does it typically occur?

What is your config ( dovecot -n ) ?
