106451 - IMAP connection timeout when I send a message

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 89285

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Marco Brandizi]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012
BuildID:    2001101202

I've IMAP accounts configured. Also I told Messenger to place a copy of sent
messages in the "outbox" folder, located at IMAP server.

I start writing a message, I employ a lot of time and the Messenger remains open
and online. When eventually a click on Send, it is able to send (no problems
with SMTP), but it says me it wasn't able to write the copy in the outbox. 

Probably the problem is that messenger beelive the IMAP connection yet open, but
actually the server has already launched a timeout. 

To face with thay I have to remeber to switch to offline before composing and
back to online when sending. Very annoyng...

The problem has appeared in the 0.95 version, not in previous ones. 
If meaningful, exactly the same happened in Netscape 4.x

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure an IMAP account and setup a server directory as 
   repository for sent messages
2. Open the messenger and leave it online
3. Start composing a mail
4. Wait a long time (30-60 mins)
5. Try to send


Actual Results:  Message is sent but not copyed to the sent folder (probably an
IMAP server timeout)

Expected Results:  Message sent and copyed to the server folder (i.e. timed out
connection is made again)
