79033 - uwIMAPd reports "comnmand line too long" when synchronising huge folder

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 80110

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Backend, defect)

Description

[Gene Kan]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010504
BuildID:    2001050420

My inbox has well over 7000 messages. When attempting to synchronise, I see a
dialogue reporting that the mail server complained "Command line too long." A
folder with nearly 2000 messages worked fine. Folders with fewer messages worked
fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a huge mail folder.
2. Try to download it (folder properties, offline, download now) or synchronise
it (File, Offline, Synchronise now).


Actual Results:  Get a complaint dialogue reporting that the mail server thinks
the command line is too long.

Expected Results:  Should have synchronised the mail folder.

Using 2001052204 build on NT 4.0 and U of Washington IMAP4rev1 v12.250.
I couldn't replicate this problem. I tried downloading 4000 messsages
and it worked fine. I tried 6894 messges and no problem either.

Though I talked to David and he did mention he had a fix for this?

Though I wasn't able to reproduce this bug. I am
going to mark this as dupe of bug 80110.

And when the fix to that bug lands, I'll test it against
a uwIMAPd server  and see if this problem reoccurs.

marking as dupe.
