Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:140.7.1esr-1~deb13u1
(4th attempt to submit this bug report)
Editing an e-mail for a long time leads to copies in DraftBox which do not get
automatically removed while editing or after the e-mail is sent. For example,
editing this very e-mail leads to the copies as in the attached screenshot.
Here's my current configuration (the sensitive parts of the local path have
been anonymized) in

Here is what Rambler's server can do:
$ openssl s_client -connect imap.rambler.ru:993
…
a1 CAPABILITY
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE QUOTA AUTH=PLAIN
a1 OK completed
Related: http://bugs.debian.org/915570 (but the report there is not specific to
Rambler).
The support of the e-mail provider said they could not reproduce the bug and
suggested that it had something to do with my client's settings. I'm opposed to
experimenting with the settings blindly; I'd like to know what the Thunderbird
maintainers have to say on the issue first. (Of course, I could try nondefault
workarounds, such as storing drafts locally and not on the server, but this
would be uncomfortable for me in the long run.)
Gratefully
Alma
