Subject: Copying articles to an nnimap group is failing.
Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2008 15:46:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877i9fsubh.fsf@sparse.dyndns.org> (raw)
I'm trying to copy articles from an nnmbox group to an nnimap group,
and it fails so spectacularly that I need to restart gnus. This is
with the current CVS gnus.
When I copy (B C) or move (B M) an article, I receive an error "writing
to process: bad address, imap" (backtrace below). After that, gnus is
ready, but it hangs on any other access to that imap server. If I kill
the imapd manually, then gnus sometimes can keep working but not always.
At first I thought I had found a reason to move from dovecot to courier,
but the problem occurs with *both* servers. I'm using
imap-shell-program to invoke the imap server locally.[1]
The backtrace:
> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "writing to process" "bad address" #<process imap>)
> process-send-region(#<process imap> 1 209423)
> imap-send-command(("APPEND \"" "INBOX.sparse.VIC" "\" " #<buffer *copy article*>) nil)
> imap-send-command-wait(("APPEND \"" "INBOX.sparse.VIC" "\" " #<buffer *copy article*>))
> imap-message-append("INBOX.sparse.VIC" #<buffer *copy article*> nil nil " *nnimap* Local")
> nnimap-request-accept-article("INBOX.sparse.VIC" "Local" t)
> gnus-request-accept-article("nnimap+Local:INBOX.sparse.VIC" nil t t)
> gnus-summary-move-article(nil nil nil copy)
> gnus-summary-copy-article(nil)
> call-interactively(gnus-summary-copy-article nil nil)
The *imap-log* buffer contains:
> 129 NOOP
> 129 OK NOOP completed
> 130 APPEND "INBOX.sparse.VIC" {209422}
> + OK
followed by the entire messge. After I quit gnus, it also contains:
> * BYE Disconnected for inactivity.
> 26 NOOP
> 26 OK Completed
Sometimes the message is copied, and sometimes it isn't.

Footnotes:
[1] I use OfflineIMAP to keep a messages in a few different places, and
it doesn't know about nnmaildir's extra files. So nnmaildir isn't an option.
