Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.17-2
It seems that Mutt is not too cute with regards server-side size
limits.
Scenario: mutt -f imap://mail.domain.de
Mailbox : ~50k mails
tag via pattern: ~20k mails
tag-delete ";d"
sync "$"
The server responds with "string too long" or something and the
mailbox is closed. Sometimes even 2k tagged and deleted mails are
sufficient to cause this.
I haven't investigated this any further but I assume that Mutt sends a
large string, trying to delete all tagged mails in one action.
Unfortunately the server doesn't like that.
It would be nice if Mutt would split up the delete line into several.
Regards,
Joey
