User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040922

When I try to move more mail from IMAP account (Exchange 2003 server), Mozilla
moves only several (about 10) mails. It appears to continue working, but I
cannot look at destination folder until restart. Then I see several moved mails
and one that contains only: 

From - Tue Dec 14 12:07:58 2004
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000

Source mailbox appears the same, ie no mail has been moved.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select serveral tens/hundreds mails from IMAP folder
2. try to move them somewhere into Local Folder
3.

Actual Results:  
Copying stopped after several copied mails.

Expected Results:  
Copy/move the whole amount.

This problem is still present in the latest Mozilla (1.7.5) and Thunderbird 1.0.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Sorry, this problem is still present in Mozilla 1.7.12 on Windows and
Thunderbird 1.0.6 on Fedora Core 3 Linux.

To react to some comments stating that 'reporting that the bug is still present
in the last stable version is a waste of time', I've tried Thunderbird version
1.6a1 (20051003), ie nightly build on Windows. It still acts the same.

Is  it actual ? I don't have big IMAP account, my small one doesn't have any issues.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008032401 SeaMonkey/2.0a1pre

It is still present in 2.0.0.12. I can see it very often because I'm receiving tons of logwatch/pflogsumm/cron outputs everyday. I'm running TB on Fedora Linux, against MS Exchange's IMAP.

Confirming bug per comment #6

Comment 8

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

Can you reproduce with Thunderbird v2.0.0.14 ?
(or Thunderbird v3.0a2pre ?)

This looks like the cause could be the same as in bug 231954.

Comment 9

[Pavel Urban]

Yes - Thunderbird 2.0.0.14, FC8. It seems to me that the cause can be similar (server dropping connection or even some of them), but the result is more fatal - the source folder in unavailable and the destination one contains several e-mails selected for transfer plus one empty, zero-size e-mail. I have to close and start Thunderbird again.
