243052 - cannot connect to localhost running courier-imap-ssl

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 237246

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[mb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040326 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040326 Firefox/0.8

I have a Courier-imap server running on my localhost which i connect to through
ssl (port 993). When i connect to the server the first time it works fine (ie.
choose the inbox folder), but whenever i start choosing different mail-folders
on the server i get this message:
"Server localhost has disconnected. The server may have gone down or there may
be a network problem." which is obviously not correct as it's localhost, and i
know it's running. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create an imap-account that connects to server 'localhost' and choose 'use
secure connection' (ie. port 993) (you need there to actually BE a server on
localhost of course. Don't know if its specific for courier-imap, but thats what
i am running).
2.open up the server (push the plus sign on the new account or something)
3.choose a random folder on the imap server and observe that you can see the
messages in there an you have a connection.
4.now choose a different folder on the server and observe the mentioned message.
5.you might need to do step 4 a couple of times to get the message but when it's
there it keeps being there.

Actual Results:  
"Server localhost has disconnected. The server may have gone down or there may
be a network problem."

Expected Results:  
shown me the contents of the folder.
