108114 - Imap Strangeness: Saves partial message and will not refresh invalid copy with full copy

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 108063

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Thomas Swan]

Currently on win32 nightly build 2001110103 IMAP and IMAP/SSL with several accounts.

If you manage to disrupt a large message download the half copy or null copy
will be viewable, but no attempt is made to download a fresh/full/valid copy.

If flip through messages rapidly (which you shouldn't block someone from doing)
and the messages are new (haven't been downloaded) then a few of them will have
started to download and then abort.  The aborted messages are viewable as empty
pages with the header information, but nothing more.

I can almost normally reproduce (not with great consistency because of the
timing involved) this behavoir with a new large 100KB text or html message and
flipping up and down on the upper listing pane.

Isn't this a duplicate of 108063, or vice versa?

Since this was on Linux too, I think this needs to be set to OS:All
