https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=392876 Summary: Thunderbird corrupts attachments with IMAP Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bwhiteley@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I use Thunderbird with IMAP. I've noticed for some time that Thunderbird corrupts attachments. They often come through with the correct size, but the last 90% or so of the file is just random junk. This doesn't happen with every attachment, but it does happen to a lot of them. I see this problem several times each week. I have to launch a different mail client to retrieve the attachments when Thunderbird corrupts them. When I use Evolution to view the same messages that have corrupt attachments in tbird, the attachments are fine in Evolution (with IMAP), so I don't think it is an IMAP server problem. I have checked "[x] Make the messages in my Inbox available when I am working offline." -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm using Thunderbird and SeaMonkey with quite some IMAP mailboxes and never saw that issue. It sounds quite critical so I wonder if others are seeing that as well. I'll check upstream bugzilla if I find similar reports. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The forum discussion is not clear if it's a server or client issue and I found a somehow matching upstream bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434054 Lowering severity to normal because of the workaround. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
