Did you check what commands Thunderbird sends? Use e.g. rawlog
(http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html). I don't think snarf plugin should
cause this, and in general I can't think of a bug in Dovecot that would
cause this.
I reproduced the bug with Dovecot 1.0.5 without snarf plugin and it
happened again.
The user I used is "kuhls2", its home is /home/kuhls2, the mail folder
(mbox format) is "/home/kuhls2/.imap_mail". This directory does not
exist when I started my tests with a fresh install of Thunderbird
2.0.0.6 on Windows XP. I need this scenario working because I am about
to switch from a working UW-IMAP install using /var/mail/$USER to
Dovecot using "$HOME/.imap_mail/". Saved mails should not get lost with
the new setup.
After setting up Thunderbird with IMAP/SSL access I connected to the
Dovecot server and logged in, .imap_mail looks like this after login:
bach:/home/kuhls2/dovecot.rawlog# ls -la ../.imap_mail/
total 12
-rw------- 1 kuhls2 worker 0 2007-09-09 22:49 inbox
-rw------- 1 kuhls2 worker 6 2007-09-09 22:49 .subscriptions
-rw------- 1 kuhls2 worker 0 2007-09-09 22:49 Trash
These files were created during the first login with Thunderbird, note
that neither a mbox "Drafts" is created nor is it visible in
Thunderbirds folder list, which is ok.
Here is the rawlog of this transaction:
# cat 20070909-234323-10517.in

4 lsub "" "*"
5 list "" "INBOX"
6 list "" "Trash"

Then I started to write a new mail and saved it as Draft, mbox Drafts
gets created with 0 byte length, no error message in Dovecot logfile nor
in Thunderbird, the mail content was not saved at all:
bach:/home/kuhls2/dovecot.rawlog# ls -la ../.imap_mail/
total 12
-rw------- 1 kuhls2 worker 0 2007-09-09 22:51 Drafts

-rw------- 1 kuhls2 worker 0 2007-09-09 22:49 Trash
bach:/home/kuhls2/dovecot.rawlog# cat ../.imap_mail/.subscriptions
Trash
Drafts
Here is the rawlog when saving the mail into drafts folder.
The first two log files had some lines added:
# cat 20070909-234323-10517.in
...
DONE
13 list "" "Drafts"
14 create "Drafts"
15 subscribe "Drafts"

13 OK List completed.
14 OK Create completed.
15 OK Subscribe completed.
* LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "Drafts"
16 OK List completed.

And two new logfiles were created:
# cat 20070909-234439-10531.in
3 select "Drafts"
4 IDLE
# cat 20070909-234439-10531.out

Please note that I start Dovecot using inetd:
imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login
imaps stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login --ssl
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login
pop3s stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login --ssl
Doesn't Dovecot use /var/mail/$user then as the INBOX if
the .imap_mail/inbox doesn't exist?
Yes, it seems so but its not a problem for me because the mails get
snarfed later on.
