--- Begin Message ---Package: mailsync Version: 5.2.1-2 Normally syncing my own and my university's imap server works great, but every now and then it just stops. I can run imapsync over and over until I turn green with only output like the one following my signature in this e-mail. Logging in via the web mail service and removing messages usually resets the odd behaviour, makes mailsync work again, and makes me live happily ever after. Or at least for more or less another month when the problem reoccurs. I have not exactly measured the days between, not found a way to reproduce the state. I've tried both the current Debian package and latest CVS from sourceforge. My debugging efforts makes me think that this can be a bug in libc-client, but I'm quite far from sure, so I'm reporting against the application like the unknowing user I am. I tried do some debugging - but it didn't take me all the way. Everything fails at a blocking select() when some special ssl_getdata() trick seems to be unable to detect that the client server communication has become out of sync. It seems like some buffer gets full at an inappropriate time, and the client is then confused on what to do. I'm not entirely sure what happens, but I'm providing what I can here. Please let me know if there's anything else that might be of interest to find the cause of the problem. The reason for blaming mailsync/c-client and not the server, is because accessing the folder with mutt still works. -- /Martin 18:25|leka% mailsync -d -v -vb -vw -vp oru Synchronizing stores "studentmail.oru-store" <-> "local-store"...
