Mail.app appears to be stuck in a loop talking to my imap server running on linux. In the activity window, it shows "Copying message" and "synchronizing with server". Then it presents a prompt saying the connection timed out and it tries again, a few times, then Mail.app crashes. If I start it again the same thing happens again.
This happened at the same time that I had a problem receiving an email repeatedly.
I have fetchmail running on linux to retrieve email from a pop account, which dovecot imap server then serves.
The other day someone sent me an email that fetchmail had problems with apparently, and kept retrieving the same message over and over. So I logged into the pop account from telnet and deleted the message and that allowed fetchmail to go on to the next message. However, meanwhile I had been trying to delete the 75 are so copies of the message from mail.app.
So, I think it may be trying to move those messages to the Trash over and over again and failing for some reason.
Do you have any ideas about how I can get Mail.app to stop trying to copy the messages?
