230278 - No update on progress dialog - copying to sent folder (imap server)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

[Mark Ramsell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

The progress bar in the dialog box "copying to sent folder" should display the
precentage of file copied to the IMAP server. No bar ever progresses across.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose a message (50k plus on dialup, 1M plus on DSL)
2.Send the message
3.Watch the progress dialog for sending - bar goes accross as message goes out.
4.Watch the progress dialog for "copying to sent folder" on IMAP server - bar
does nothing to indicate percent of file copied to server.

Actual Results:  
The message gets copied to the IMAP server's sent folder almost 100% of the time.

Expected Results:  
Progress should have been displayed for the copy operation.

This is more noticably on a dialup with messages over 50k for the obvious reason
that there is more data being sent.

As far as I can tell this problem exists in 1.3 though 1.5 on Win98 and
Redhat9.0. This always occurs but the copy completes nearly 100% of the time. It
looks like a cosmetic update problem so I've never been too concerned about it.

Good Hunting
Mark

yeah, we're not generating progress events while the append is happening. Maybe
it won't be too hard to generate some.

you're welcome. This had been bugging me for several years, so I finally decided
to take matters into my own hands.
