273054 - downloads eight messages and then "RETR command" fails

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Kirby]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

My mail account is [e-mail].  I normally use PocoMail 3.0, and it
retrieves messages fine.

My setting is to leave messages on server (in Thunderbird).  When I click "Get
Mail," the first eight emails are downloaded just fine.  Then, on the ninth, I
get the message: "The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving a message.
Mail server mail.peterkirby.com responded: feeVS-TimeoutProtection: 0"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use account peter+peterkirby.com on server mail.peterkirby.com (well, you
can't do this can you? do you want me to give you a [temporary] account on the
server?)
2. Enter your password, leave mail on server, etc.
3. Press "Get Mail."  Wait for error message after 8 downloaded emails.

Actual Results:  
Then, on the ninth, I get the message: "The RETR command did not succeed. Error
retrieving a message. Mail server mail.peterkirby.com responded:
feeVS-TimeoutProtection: 0"  And no more e-mail get downloaded.  But I can
download eight more by clicking "Get Mail" again.

Expected Results:  
Downloaded all the mail on the server without an error message.

I just set the software up 20 minutes ago.
