In preparing for Thurs OCLUG meeting where I've been asked to talk about this, I today tried to carefully download my last month's mail.
Had lots of troubles, and managed with offlineIMAP to see a protocol stall (or something like it) and also to log something similar in Thunderbird. This looks like IMAP implementation or loading on uOttawa, I suspect former, but ... However, another issue cropped up when I tried to clean up a downloaded set of mail. I first copied it (or tried to) a separate folder. Then I noticed that the contents were not the same. The copy corrupted LOCALLY! Thinking this might be my machine (bad disk?) I managed to copy (outside of Tbird) the original folder (mbox file). THen I tried a copy operation in Tbird on another machine. Also gave corruption (I think different corruption.) I'm beginning to think there's something seriously wrong somewhere inside current Tbird, but really would like to nail down what is actually happening before simply saying "it doesn't work".
