[VM] IMAP protocol error on save after get

[Robert Marshall]

I'm running with a recent build from the emacs devel trunk and since
I've swapped to this version I'm consistently seeing this error:

vm-imap-protocol-error: IMAP protocol error: "No response from the IMAP server"

this happens (with an imap folder) if I do a get ('g') followed
immediately by a save ('S'). If I then save again it works, so it's a
minor inconvenience rather than a real problem. Is there something
fragile in folder saving that's likely to be generating this error or is
it more likely to be an core emacs issue? They are in the midst of the
latest pretest which will hopefully be the last before the next release:
has anyone built from that who is also seeing this error?

I haven't seen this problem at all before my move to this emacs build.

Dear Robert, Is this problem still happening with Emacs 24.4?

Cheers,
Uday

I've just installed 24.4 and - so far (based upon running it most of
today) - I've not seen the problem. So it looks to be a trunk vs
release difference. Both the trunk and the release were run from the
build areas.

When the problem occurred (with the trunk version) I was also seeing
an occasional

Error running timer `vm-check-mail-itimer-function': (vm-imap-protocol-error "No response from the IMAP server")

message in the echo area - I use vm-mail-check-interval, and sometimes
I had to attempt to exit the imap folder twice as the first time it
errored

You think a report to emacs-bug?

I see this

Minor fixups related to usage of the 'long' type.
* gnutls.c (emacs_gnutls_handshake):

but that seems to be the only tls related checkin since the last
one in the release - or does imap use other bits of core emacs?

I'm using imap-ssl:host:993:*:login:user:* for the
vm-imap-account-alist connection
