[Dovecot] APPEND issue with Thunderbird

[Todd Burroughs]

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 at hostopia.com>
(rest of headers and message follows)

The .out file is empty
