Gordon, all - User reports: "I use netscape, macOS X mail and sometimes outlook express. same problems in all.", wrt IMAP-SSL hanging.
I didn't have any problems with Eudora before migrating to POP3-SSL, and have never tried using Eudora with IMAP. For the POP3-SSL account that was hung, it came back to life by cleaning out the Maildir into a mbox file, at which point it resumes having successful exchanges. Additional new mail delivered to the box causes a resumption of the hanging behavior - after a varying amount of mail has been downloaded, it will hang waiting for the termination of that message. The client will time out, and when it next retries it will start with the next message in the spool. If I had to make a SWAG, I'd say there was either a problem buried in the parsing of the the spool files, or in either the clients or the servers interpretation of the necessary rfc's. Then again, POP3 is a pretty primitive protocol, so there really shouldn't be that much flux... I don't have a problem reproducing the bug -- emailing myself a dozen messages is almost guaranteed to cause it to occur -- so if anyone has any suggestions as to how to determine which process is the one that's hung, I can break into it with gdb and see where it's at (though chances are good it'll just be in a select() somewhere.) --G At 12:21 AM 3/16/2002 -0800, Gordon Messmer wrote: >On Thu, 2002-03-14 at 23:11, Gambit wrote: > > Currently, I have a user account that is perminently hung, that is >according to the client never gets past the UIDL phase, and eventually >times out.
