277751 - IMAP logout does not wait for answer

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 115349

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Kurt Huwig]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

An IMAP logout works like this (C: client, S: server):

C:1 logout
S:* BYE LOGOUT received

Thunderbird does not wait for the answer to be received. Maybe this is a
workaround for hanging servers, but for working servers these is a log-entry
every time about the client closed the connection too early.

I would like to have Thunderbird read the 'BYE' message with a short timeout.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start a TCP dump
2. Connect to an IMAP server
3. close Thunderbird
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird closed the connection before the 'BYE' answer was received.

Expected Results:  
Wait at least a short time for the 'BYE' answer

I forgot one line of server response:

C:1 logout
S:* BYE LOGOUT received
S:1 OK Completed

You can try this with

telnet imap-server imap

Escape character is '^]'.
* OK sloxsponts Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.9 server ready
1 logout
* BYE LOGOUT received
1 OK Completed
