Running trunk build 2004032208 on WinXP. The server is running uw-imapd. I was logging my IMAP traffic and noticed that Mozilla tries to query status of a selected folder. In a few minutes I got quite a few lines like this: 1256[248d208]: 3475890:atp.fi:S-Mail/SPAM:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * NO CLIENT BUG DETECTED: STATUS on selected mailbox: Mail/SPAM According to the log file, the connection had Mail/SPAM already selected and it had been IDLE before that (previously issued commands were IDLE and DONE). RFC 3501 states, that "the STATUS command SHOULD NOT be used on the currently selected mailbox". Setting severity to major as this could cause severe problems with some servers.

Attached patch use NOOP instead of STATUS if we're selected (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Comment on attachment 149082 [details] [diff] [review] use NOOP instead of STATUS if we're selected I think this will do the right thing when new messages come in, but it would be great if you could try it out, Ere. I'm pretty sure we won't be doing STATUS on selected folders, and * think we'll update the counts for unread and recent correctly.
