Works for me. Your IMAP server must be doing something peculiar when
this happens. Can you get a stack trace?

Obviously it's not supposed to crash, but yes, it's a feature that it
holds the mailbox open. That's the whole point of IMAP. The protocol is
designed around the assumption that mailers will do that.

Yes, that's in bugzilla.
