194239 - Connect to IMAP account never completes

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 190106

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Kevin Butler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

Starting Mozilla 1.3b & mail, it attempts to connect to my IMAP mailbox, but
never completes - the "throbber" keeps throbbing, but no new info comes from the
IMAP server. 

This appears to be a problem specific to 1.3b, as downgrading to 1.3a resolved
the problem, but explicitly terminating the mozilla process & restarting, or
rebooting & restarting Mozilla did not help. Simultaneous access from another
machine running 1.3a succeeds.  

Nothing informative in the IMAP server logs.  This is over a fast (unloaded 10
mbps LAN) connection, and behavior is the same with either SSL or non-SSL
connections.

IMAP server is UW IMAP on Debian. The broken Mozilla 1.3b could simultaneously
access another IMAP account running on iPlanet messaging server.

This may be related to 190106, but behavior was sufficiently different (stop &
restart didn't help, no time delay needed), that I filed a separate issue.
