Package: dovecot-imapd

Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Since upgrading to the latest dovecot, we have experienced problems
after sending mail.  When the sent mail is copied to the "Sent" folder
we'd receive an error saying that the operation could not be completed.
This occurred when using Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.4 accessing IMAP over
SSL over a DSL connection.   This happened to multiple users and only
started occurring after the upgrade.

All of us who saw this issue had large "Sent" folders with over 5000
mails.  After cleaning out the "Sent" folder, the problem didn't occur
again.

We didn't see the same behaviour when connected to the server over the
fast LAN ... we also weren't using SSL on the LAN.

So it appears that the problem is related to slowness of writing to the
large "Sent" folder over a slower network, which is possibly exacerbated
by using SSL.

Sorry for the vagueness of the report.  But there is definately a
regression in this area.  Let me know if there is anything I can do to
help.
