Hi,
Cyrus 2.1.18 on Debian Sarge used mostly with Thunderbird 1.0.6 on
Windows XP. One NAT router and an additional router / switch between the
server and the TB clients.
Occasionally (it appears that this happens usually after intensive use
of the search function) the TB client hangs after sending out a mail
with the message "copying to sent folder". It is not related to the size
of the message. The message *is* sent out but then we have to restart
the TB client. No chance to save the message in the IMAP sent folder.
There are a few bug reports available on this but I haven't found a real
solution so far. Does anybody use the combination of TB and Cyrus
without problems? Could we use a sieve script to put a copy of each
outgoing mail into the sent folder (instead of having the client do this)?
Klaus,
The way I solved this was by designating a specific folder to be my sent
folder (in my case "out"), adding the "anyone p" privelege to the
folder, then replacing the "save a copy" action with a BCC with plus
addressing to the "out" folder ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Then, a copy of the
message is actually sent to the sent folder, which is not dependent on
the copy action in Thunderbird.
I have used this for years and it works flawlessly
2 caveats :
- our sendmail rules normalize everything to lower case, so the folder
name must be all lower case letters
- everything in the "out" folder appears as a unread message. I
occasionally select all the messages and mark them as read.
