239337 - hang on loading a message to the preview pane from Exchange2000 via IMAP

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Klaus Strebel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316

Sometimes (well, sooner or later, i know, this is the 'best' of faults and their
descriptions :-(), mozilla-1.7b hangs while loading a message from my
Exchange2000 account. Loading from Cyrus-IMAP seems to be pretty stable thow.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Scroll through all the mails in the Exchange2000 servers inbox and preview
(well i have a lot of them there ...) .
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Loading of message starts, progress bar starts showing, the all mozilla windows
freezes. The first mozilla-bin thread seems to loop in mozilla-code (strace -p
doesn't show anything), all other threads seem to poll or just nanowait. It's
not allways the same message :-(. Switching back to Mozilla-1.6 works just fine.
I'll give the dayly build a try and give feedback.

Expected Results:  
Finish loading message and display (of cause :-) ).

Exchange2000 is getting spread wider and wider (unfortunately), so, it seems to
be a major bug to me. I know, there's a setting to get a trace of all, but i'm
getting old and ... . If someone could provide me a hint, i'll get a trace and
add it.

Cheers
Klaus

P.S.: Speed is realy awesome, you made a good job, guys.

problem, seems to hit with attachments in play ...

Ciao

Wondering if this is a dup of bug 237947:
Can you try a build from the Apr. 1st or later?

Great! Just wanted to add that it seems to be something in my old profile, i
made a new one and all went well. But with 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686;
en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040401' the problem seems to be fixed (even with my old
profile ;-) ).

Wwwwrrrroooommmmm, tremendously good job, problem fixed with hypersonic speed :-).
I'll watch the things for some day's and close my call next week, if nothing
happens!

Cheers
Klaus
