Eric Charles commented on PROTOCOLS-104:
----------------------------------------

Hi,
Mail is correctly shown in thunberbird pop3 (with correct wireshark dump).
Only headers are show in thunderbird imap (wireshark dump shows that only the 
headers are given, which makes me think mime4j can not parse it).
Apple Mail pop3 hangs forever although wireshark shows a correct dump (mail is 
given to apple mail).

I have tried to figure out if we respect the RFC [1], especially regarding the 
case where a lined begins with '.', but I didn't find in your mail such line:
grep ^"\." retr-hang-apple-mail.eml 

A preliminary step would be absolutely sure that the mail is well-formed

Thx, Eric


[1] Responses to certain commands are multi-line.  In these cases, which
   are clearly indicated below, after sending the first line of the
   response and a CRLF, any additional lines are sent, each terminated
   by a CRLF pair.  When all lines of the response have been sent, a
   final line is sent, consisting of a termination octet (decimal code
   046, ".") and a CRLF pair.  If any line of the multi-line response
   begins with the termination octet, the line is "byte-stuffed" by
   pre-pending the termination octet to that line of the response.

> Some messages cause Apple Mail hang during RETR command. Outlook and 
> Thunderbird both can successfully download exactly same message. So the 
> problem exhibits only when using Apple Mail.
> Copy of the message which can be used to reproducing problem is attached. 
> From description this issue looks similar to JAMES-1222.
