325917 - can't get client address using cyrus-imapd

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Gerard Braad]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060130 SeaMonkey/1.0
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.5 Windows XP

at first i thought this was a TLS/SSL issue. But it seems it is more serious problem?

When I connect using Thunderbird version 1.5 (20051201) to my mail.survion.com server (running cyrus-imapd) it stops responding with the following message on the server:

Feb  4 22:04:35 forum imap[31748]: warning: can't get client address: Connection reset by peer
Feb  4 22:04:35 forum imap[31748]: accepted connection


This issue did not occur with the latest Linux version (downloaded yesterday) and also not with Thunderbird 1.0.7. I already cleaned my profile directory (removed it even) since i upgraded from 1.0.7 to 1.5. I did not even include any extensions. The same also occurs with PortableThunderbird 1.5rc1.

^

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an email account to connect to mail.survion.com using IMAP (TLS prefered)
2. should result in the password field to popup

binary distribution of Thunderbird 1.5 (20051201)
server runs Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12-Invoca-RPM-2.2.12-1.1.fc3

Actual Results:  
does not even show the password dialog

Expected Results:  
password dialog to authenticate

Sidenote: with SeaMonkey 1.0 the connection works.

when using IMAP using SSL (port 993) it results in:
