Currious IMAP server response for Yahoo! account. Uncleaned buffer?

Patrick Timmons

Mac OS 26.7.1.

There are 2 responses to IMAP command 103. IMAP command '104 IDLE' between the 2 responses. The first one is correct. The second one!!! is identical to the first one except it is prepended with the letter 'p'!!!. Always the letter 'p'. It looks like a programming error.

Note that the entry in prefs.js for this main account is broken since migration for Thunderbird 155.0.1 to 156. Every time I change some settings in the Identity section, 2 prefs.js entries are removed: mail.identity.id1.fullName and mail.identity.id1.useremail. This prevents me from sending emails from this account until I enter the proper values from the Prefs editor. I realize this is 2 problems but I think one may cause the other. Note that I have a second Yahoo! account that works perfectly well.

Thanks for any advice.
