Hi Jörg,

This sounds a little bit like this Thunderbird issue:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1708981

Two Cyrus bugs were found while it was being investigated, which were fixed by:

https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/pull/3605
https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/pull/3606
https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/pull/3664

These fixes are in Cyrus 3.2.9 and 3.4.3, and the 3.6 betas.

The fixes are not present in 3.0, because the code has changed too much since 
then for the patches to apply.  The bugs probably are though.

I don't know what (if anything) changed from the Thunderbird side, I didn't 
follow that part of the discussion.  Perhaps Thunderbird now expects the 
server-side problems to be fixed, and doesn't compensate.

If you wanted to upgrade Cyrus while staying within apt, it looks like 
buster-backports has 3.2.6-2~bpo10+1... though note that 3.2.6 is three 
releases older than 3.2.9, so it won't have these fixes either unless the deb 
maintainer has included them as patches.

Cheers,

ellie
