MBOX-Line: From andris.reinman at gmail.com Fri Dec 29 18:15:14 2017 To: imap-protocol@u.washington.edu From: Andris Reinman Date: Fri Jun 8 12:34:55 2018 Subject: [Imap-protocol] Deleting selected mailbox Message-ID: Hi, I'm wondering that if a client issues a DELETE against the mailbox that is currently SELECTed then what should be the correct way to handle this. In most cases it seems that servers respond with untagged BYE. Would it be correct to send the BYE before tagged response for DELETE or not? I have a race condition in WildDuck IMAP server where sometimes the notification about deleted folder gets processed before tagged response is sent to the client, so while in most cases this happens: C: A SELECT FOLDER S: (mailbox info) S: A OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed C: A DELETE FOLDER C: A OK DELETE completed C: * BYE Selected mailbox was deleted, have to disconnect (connection is closed by server) Then sometimes it is like this (no response for DELETE): C: A SELECT FOLDER S: (mailbox info) S: A OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed C: A DELETE FOLDER C: * BYE Selected mailbox was deleted, have to disconnect (connection is closed by server) Is the latter a violation of IMAP RFCs? I mean that once the client reconnects the folder is not there anymore anyway?
