281085 - Multiple IMAP accounts (on the same server) with multiple folders for each account cause Thunderbird to freeze

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[bungmonkey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I have 2 IMAP accounts both located at the same IP address.  At times, when
moving from a folder on one accout to a folder on another account Thunderbird
freezes either temporarily or freezes enough to require a task-manager/end task.
 Another symptom of this problem is TBird's inability to copy messages to the
sent folder.  This is intermittent.  At first I thought that it was the number
of simultaneous connections that my server would allow, but the host has that
set at 8, and I have TBird set to cache only 2 connections per account.  None of
this has helped the problem.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Set up multiple IMAP email accounts at the same server with multiple
subfolders for each account
2.  Move between folders and accounts; basically just use the email accounts for
a day.  The problem will be obvious
3.

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird freezes, sometimes shows headers without messages, etc.

Expected Results:  
Not frozen, etc.

This error is 100% reproducable.  I had the engineers at my host, fatcow.com,
check out the problem, and they were able to replicate the problems I've been
haveing just by setting TBird up as I described above.

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.
