[imapfilter-devel] Imapfilter Exiting Infinite Loop Timeout?

[Paul]

Hello, I hope someone can help here.  I have a imapfilter config below 
that has a infinite while loop wrapping an idle.

At first I thought there may be something up with the idle, but now I 
look at it, I think it is the transfer that is the problem perhaps.  
This email in question was a voicemail, so fairly large.

Once the idle exits, any emails are copied to another account, and then 
those same emails are moved to a different folder on the original account.

My guess is that while the big email is being copied to a second 
account, the account that the email was pulled from is doing nothing.  
Then once that transfer is complete, it then goes to move the same 
emails over on the original account, but this has timed out when the 
copy was running.  So it gets back to do the move and fails, and the 
script exits.

Does that look like a reasonable interpretation? If so, can anyone 
suggest a workaround?

Thanks,

Paul
