User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a7pre) Gecko/2007072104 Minefield/3.0a7pre Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.5 (20070716) When copying large amounts of email contained in sub-folders of folders under Local Folders to an IMAP account, Thunderbird fails to copy all of the mail before ceasing transfer. No indication is given why the transfer has stopped. Thunderbird fails to allow any further copy actions to take place during the session in which the transfer fails. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Thunderbird 2. Drag a folder that contains folders of folders with hundreds of emails and is located under Local Folders to the Inbox on an IMAP. 3. Wait for transfer to complete/fail. Actual Results: Transfer fails without notice before completing the process. Expected Results: Transfer should copy the contents of all folders to the destination. If an error is encountered, a message and an opportunity for correction should be provided. Errors encountered during transfer should not automatically abort the transfer. Upon completion of the transfer, the user should be provided with a summary of all errors that occurred and the actions taken. There is no overall progress indicator so it is difficult to determine when the transfer should complete successfully. Data could be lost due to a user mistakenly believing that the process completed successfully and then deleting the folder from under Local Folders. For reference purposes, I am running a Courier IMAP server. No errors were logged from Courier during the process.

An imap protocol log might help diagnose this: http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/mail-troubleshoot.html#imap
