149273 - get new mail: no result at all (IMAP)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Florian Lindauer]

(I found some similar entries, but none really seems to be 
exactly what I am experiencing here with 1.0 RC3 Linux)

After the first login to IMAP, where the inbox is correctly
retrieved, *never again* (until complete restart) getting
new mail succeeds. (There really is new mail, and it can
be retrieved with other clients)

Some info that might help:

- Server:
  * OK <host> IMAP4rev1 v12.250 server ready

- Listening on ethereal and comparison to old NS4.7:
  The first noop and fetch-command, including answers,
  are totally identical (mozilla and ns4).
  But after that, where ns4 goes on with another
  noop and lots of fetches to other IDs, mozilla
  simply does nothing more, it stops here.
  Last packet is:
  Response: 6 FETCH (UID 12345 FLAGS (\Seen))

Hope that helps
and Thanks for your work!

1. As 1.0 came some hours after this report, of course
   the problem is still in there
2. Meanwhile I tested another, external IMAP-Server (web.de).
   It worked.
   So this problem *could* be the fault of the server
   (but then all other clients I know tolerate it)

Reporter: Can you reproduce this bug with a recent build of Mozilla (for
example, 1.4rc3)? 

If so, then please comment again with details. 
If not, then please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks.

We do not have the above IMAP-server running anymore, so
I cannot test it. As noone else was reporting here, I guess
we can close this. Just don't know what status is appropriate
here: its not fixed, invalid, worksforme or wontfix (maybe it
is, maybe not..) - more of a "we'll never know" :)
Guess some of you have the right to simply set it "closed".
Thanks for caring.
