The following issue requires your FEEDBACK. ====================================================================== http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/view.php?id=815 ====================================================================== Reported By: maximP Assigned To: paul ====================================================================== Project: DBMail Issue ID: 815 Category: IMAP daemon Reproducibility: have not tried Severity: major Priority: normal Status: feedback target: ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 02-Nov-09 17:18 CET Last Modified: 28-Apr-10 14:44 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: IMAP + Thunderbird - inability to receive a message Description: By default, Thunderbird tries to get message attachments (message parts) from IMAP by small chunks (10 KBytes), and relies on accuracy of attachment sizes information (IMAP server must inform MUA about the exact size of message parts). Most of messages are OK, but sometimes the problem arises, and Thunderbird can't get a message from IMAP server. Probably, dbmail-imapd lies about sizes of message parts, and Thunderbird doesn't understand DBMail's answer with message part body (and closes the connection on timeout, if I understand correctly). Similar problem (with Exchange IMAP server) is discussed here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92111 and the recommendation is to turn off chunk fetching by modifying hidden Thunderbird setting. It helps with dbmail-imapd also, but is it possible to fix DBMail itself? BTW, when Thunderbird asks dbmail-imapd to send 10Kb, then next 10Kb, then next... what does DBMail do? Does it utilize some caches, or the whole message or message part is fetched from the DB every time? Moreover, is DBMail handle large messages with many attachments in optimal way? I'd say, DBMail + Thunderbird combination is too slow for large messages. ======================================================================
