134471 - Fail to copy sent mail to folder when not already logged in with IMAP

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 90064

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Nahor]

Setup:
 - Have Mozilla to use IMAP
 - Have a copy of mail being sent to be put in the Sent folder on the IMAP server

Steps:
 1- Start a new session of bugzilla (so that Mozilla doesn't know your IMAP
password)
 2- Compose a new mail message
 3- Send it
 4- Mozilla sends the mail then ask for you IMAP password to put the copy, enter it.

Result:
  A message box saying that you can't subscribe to your "Sent" mailbox because
you are already subscribed. 
  Click Ok. 
  The "Sending Messages" dialog box stays there until you click "Cancel".
  The mail is not copied in the folder.

Expected result:
  No message box, copy of the mail in the "Sent" folder.
  
Remarks:
 - I'm using the IMAP server from the University of Washington (UW IMAP). I
don't know if this problem is specific to this server or not. 
 - Steps 1 and 2 can be replace with
    1b- Close Mozilla
    2b- Using Windows Explorer, right-click on a file, select "Send to", "Mail
Recipient"

    
Since I'm using the "Send to" from Explorer quite often without keeping Mozilla
open, I get this error quite often and loose the copy of the mail, this is quite
annoying (marking critical since there is data loss).
