233050 - Bad mail processing / handling

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Wyly Wade]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Not sure if this happens in other mail protocals but with my imap account when
you delete or move a mail message it does not move it on the server and seems to
continue to keep it in memory until you exit all of Mozilla. Once you exit
Mozilla and then look at the server it will have moved all messages, deleted the
messages that you deleted during your session. 

I think mozilla is storing the events in memory and then executing them on the
server when you exit because as these events continue over a day the memory foot
print often gets to over 100M in ram. It is not unusual for me to after 6 to 8
hours have 100-200M of ram dedicated to Mozilla. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up an Imap account
2. Move a message from the Inbox to a local folder
3. watch memory increase
4. look at the server... message has not been updated
5. close mozilla 
6. check server see message is no longer there now...




I am marking this as critical because it has caused me many problems with system
crashes and software issues

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
