Description Poornima 2006-03-01 04:41:02 UTC
Bug in novell bugzilla https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=134537

Often when I select a folder on an imap server after having viewed folders that
are local, or on a different imap server, I see the error: 
"Error while refreshing folder.  IMAP4 server <server> unexpectedly
disconnected: invalid argument."

If I go to another folder, then come back to the folder that gave this error,
it works fine.  It seems that if the error were silently caught, and a
reconnect was attempted, the user would never have to be burdened with this
annoyance.

Can you export CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 and then run evolution 
and give me the Debug spew.

The server may disconnect due to various reasons. It can be evolutions fault if
it does not send out peroidic NOOP message and lets the connection drop. If the
server drops the connection randomly, the folder sync operation fails. That
error message cannot be supressed, cos ideally even if the re-connect does not
work then the user needs to know the state of evolution. The Send/ Receive
reconnects to the server anyway, at the next automatic mail check interval. 

I am not really sure what your exact scenario is, so the debug spew will help
in getting a fix for this.

Evolution version 2.5.90.

poornima, isn't this just refering to the UI and not the issue itself? the ui should not bother with a popup. to me this is another duplicate of bug 247373. comments?
