For me, the issue arose with a TB<->Gmail/IMAP connection, and I just got an email confirmation from Google that they do not use Zafara but some self-written mail server.
Since the last two days I always let wireshark run in the background. Unfortunately, the problem did not show up again as massive as a few days ago (and I did not install the patch). Only sometimes I can observe that TB redownloads either 30 or 50 messages from the "all messages" folder - with no evident need (because I only deleted one email - why must TB now synchronize some 30 other emails?).
