Hi,
I have a gmail INBOX with more than 20,000 messages. I configured mutt
IMAP to this mailbox. For this is the first time to this mailbox, mutt
try to fetch all the headers at the beginning and always got the well-
known
problem "tls_socket_read (A TLS packet with unexpected length
was received.)" when just fetched about 5000 headers.
I've to set imap_keepalive to 300, 100, 30 and 10, but without
success. mail_check and timeout is 30 and 10 respectively.
Here are some error information with debug level 5:
=======================================
[2011-10-23 08:16:18] tls_socket_read (A TLS packet with unexpected
length was received.)
[2011-10-23 08:16:22] imap_cmd_step: Error reading server response.
[2011-10-23 08:16:22] Error opening mailbox
=======================================
So I never get mutt to work with such a INBOX.
In order to make it work, I think mutt needs to support
1)to manage a well-formated header cache file when connection not
available temporarily or disconnected on the server end.
2) to re-fetching the remaining headers but not all headers each time.(The
second one is rely on the first.)
