122214 - Synchronous copy to send with IMAP fails

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Gareth King]

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2002012608

When sending two emails at the same time from an IMAP account, the 'copy to
sent' fails for one mail. This situation frequently happens when sending one
mail with a large attachment and then you go on to send other emails. The email
does get sent, but no copy is stored in the Sent directory.

This only happens if the 'sent' directory is on the IMAP server and not for
local copies.

Bug may be related to bug#68126


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up IMAP account with Copy folder on Server (Mirapoint)
2. Send a large email (say 100k)
3. Immediately send another email


Actual Results:  email is sent
Copy to sent directory fails

Expected Results:  Should copy email to sent directory

I presume that the Sent directory is locked on the server while one email is
copied (and therefore 2nd email copy fails). Could solve by 'queing' the email
copy event.

Is this still happening in 1.1b or later?
