From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 BuildID: 2001112012 First of all this has happened me for all versions of Mozilla Second I used tcpdump to see what network traffic was happening when the bug occurred (there was none). So.. Intermittently I can't open certain mail folders (on an IMAP server). The front end just hangs (logo spins forever). I can select other folders fine and if I wait for say 5 minutes and try the folder again it may be OK. However if I restart Mozilla I can open it immediately. As mentioned above, it seemed like mozilla didn't send a request to the IMAP server when the hang occurred. Note my /home/dir is on NFS which might have an affect? I wonder could it be due to time differences between my local machine and NFS times or something. I'll try and put my .mozilla on /usr/local/someplace and see does this help. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Just click on various (IMAP?) mail folders until you can't open one

Hmm, Could this possible be related to 100709?

is this still a problem? i might have seen a similiar report ... and I have experienced this problem before but not in recent builds. could you download a recent nightlie and report if this happens?

Works for me while using IMAP. Never had any such problem. Please try 1.0RC1 -- there have been a LOT of changes since 0.9.6! If you get positive results from using a newer build, or if you've already attributed this problem to something other than Mozilla, please resolve the bug. If you are still having a problem with the latest build, please let us know.
