Hi,

I have some quite serious problems with Pine 4.32 and Courier Imap 1.3.0, OS is Solaris 8 Sparc. The configuration is total virtual users, all maildirs owned and grouped to vmail, authentication with authldap. If a user has ~200 or more unread messages in the INBOX, and has filtering enabled the client will just give up after a few seconds. Strange errors like "invalid user id" or "unable to perform operation" occur. Remove filtering and it works like a charm. I don't know if this is a pine or courier or both issue, but it needs to be fixed. Any tips and advice on this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Also, when there is an INBOX with more than a few hundred messages and a user tries to do a header search, pine either quits and says it can't do it, or it dies. Here is a snippet from a tcpdump.

----------------------------------------------------------

00000000 CAPABILITY 00000001 LOGIN someuser xxxxxxxxxx 00000002 CAPABILITY 00000003 SELECT INBOX 00000004 SEARCH ALL UNDELETED UNSEEN 00000005 FETCH 2 FLAGS 00000006 FETCH 1,2:21 UID 00000007 FETCH 22,23:42 UID 00000008 FETCH 1:42 (UID ENVELOPE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (Path Message-ID resent-to resent-date resent-from resent-cc resent-subject List-Help List-Unsubscribe List-Subscribe List-Post List-Owner List-Archive Newsgroups Followup-To References)] INTERNALDATE RFC822.SIZE FLAGS) 00000009 SEARCH CHARSET US-ASCII ALL 1:3142 SUBJECT eepro

-------------------------------------------------------------- After that, the server just closes the connection (correct TCP close). There is *no* imap reply to the last request (SEARCH).

Please help.

Thanks, Mike
