Everytime we open an imap folder, we ask it for its capabilities. We should cache this capability the first time we open a connection to a host. To verify the fix, one would need to look at an imap log, and make sure we don't issue the capability command for the second folder we open.

Sol was mentioning how everytime he selected a message in the IMAP folder (ie. Inbox), the status would show "opening folder." Does this have to do with trying to get a connection for this capability each time for the same folder?

No, even 4.5 displays that message everytime you read a message - it just goes by so fast, you don't see it. It just means we're going through that stage of running a url against a folder - if we hadn't opened the folder (e.g., your connection timed out) before loading the message, we would really open the folder.

fixed in m11.

David, I looking at my IMAP log and does capability command look like the following? "5[44f1ff8]: nsmail-5:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LANGUAGE STARTTLS XSENDER X-NETSCAPE XSERVERINFO AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN" I just wanted to be sure before I try to verify this bug. Thanks. :)

yep, that's the one.

Thank you David :) Verified on Win32 seamonkey build 1999-09-13-10 build. Need to verify on Linux and MacOS.

Verified on Linux seamonkey build 1999-09-13-08 Need to verify on Mac

Verified as fixed using the Mac seamonkey build 1999-09-02-08. The imap log indicated that the we query the imap capability only once. Verified bug as fixed. :)

cc: karen as a fyi. You don't need to do anything on this bug, but thought you'd like to see how the IMAP log can be used to report/verify bugs.
