41161 - Assertion in nsImapServerResponseParser::BeginMessageDownload

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect, P3)

Description

[Scott MacGregor]

When attempting to download new mail, I get an assertion in
nsImapServerResponseParser::BeginMessageDownload:

NS_ASSERTION(fSizeOfMostRecentMessage > 0, "most recent message has 0 or
negative size");

I see this consistently here at mail connect on the Novell -- NIMS server.

Attachment: novell nims log. Look at the very end

it looks like the servers where we run into this, don't issue the message size
until after they issue the envelope response. So we eventually get the size,
just a little later than we would like.

this just has to do with mpod and it's harmless. I'll look into it a little more.

fix is to not do this assertion if we're downloading headers, as opposed to the
message body.
