[Dovecot] 1.0rc3 problem w/ Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 on Mac OS X

[Mark Richards]

Herr,

Is the problem you're having exhibited by a hanging message that says 
"connecting" when you try to send a message?

If I cancel it, I sometimes get a message saying that Thunderbird had 
trouble saving the message to the sent items folder.

If cancelled again, the message is saved - twice!

At least, it sends it.  I am wondering if this is what you're seeing.

I was seeing this alot in the client: 1.5.  I'm now using 2.0a1 and 
don't have the problem quite as often.

There are no error messages in the logs, but maybe I haven't set the 
reporting level low enough.

/m
