Uday I've just installed 24.4 and - so far (based upon running it most of today) - I've not seen the problem. So it looks to be a trunk vs release difference. Both the trunk and the release were run from the build areas.
When the problem occurred (with the trunk version) I was also seeing an occasional Error running timer `vm-check-mail-itimer-function': (vm-imap-protocol-error "No response from the IMAP server") message in the echo area - I use vm-mail-check-interval, and sometimes I had to attempt to exit the imap folder twice as the first time it errored You think a report to emacs-bug? I see this 2014-07-07 Paul Eggert <egg...@cs.ucla.edu> Minor fixups related to usage of the 'long' type. * gnutls.c (emacs_gnutls_handshake): but that seems to be the only tls related checkin since the last one in the release - or does imap use other bits of core emacs? I'm using imap-ssl:host:993:*:login:user:* for the vm-imap-account-alist connection Robert Uday Reddy writes: > Dear Robert, Is this problem still happening with Emacs 24.4? > > Cheers, > Uday > > Robert Marshall writes: > > > I'm running with a recent build from the emacs devel trunk and since > > I've swapped to this version I'm consistently seeing this error: > > > > vm-imap-protocol-error: IMAP protocol error: "No response from the IMAP > > server" > > > > this happens (with an imap folder) if I do a get ('g') followed > > immediately by a save ('S').
