After experiencing these symptoms through many of the release
candidates, we've been at v1.0.0 now for a few weeks, and they're still
there. Perhaps a config issue with my setup (mbox locks?). It's really
too disrupting to continue using this way. I've included symptoms,
client info, mta info, log entries and config file. What other
information can I provide? Please advise.
Thanks, Danno
symptoms:
1. Coming back to the idle client, and clicking on a newly arrived
message, often a long delay (seems like minutes, sometimes) will occur
before the message loads from the server.
2. Sending messages, as often as not, the client will stall, sometimes
indefinitely, on "copying message to sent folder".
client:
* usually not more than 2-3 clients running at any time.
* Thunderbird 1.5.0.10 (on XP)
* Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 (on FreeBSD 5.5)
mta:
* Sendmail 8.13.6/8.13.6
* $sudo sendmail -bt -d0.10 < /dev/null | grep HASFLOCK
OS Defines: BSD4_4_SOCKADDR HASFCHOWN HASFCHMOD HASFLOCK
