[Bug 150571] Re: thunderbird-2.0.0.6 locking-up while downloading messages from an IMAP

[Phil Shotton]

I'm now running 2.0.0.21 and the behaviour is no better than with earlier releases.
Using a decent DSL connection I have no problems with IMAP at all, but on mobile broadband running anything less than about 1Mb/s accessing my mailboxes takes seemingly forever and usually fails with no errors. The cursor continues to show busy but all network activity ceases, new mail is not downloaded and clicking on an existing mail fails to display it. The only solution at this point is to exit Thunderbird and restart. Effectively I can't access my email except when on a very fast network connection. 

Note this only affects IMAP. Pop mail handling is fine even on very slow
links.
