javax.mail.IllegalWriteException: IMAPMessage is read-only

[Timo Nentwig]

Hi!

I mark a IMAP mail as DELETED and call saveChanges(). I run Cyrus which
is actually capable of deleting mails and - funny - there's no class
called IMAPMessage actually

The mail is actually deleted from mail store but the exception is thrown
anyway.

Why?

I see this with POP3 as well. It did not used to do this. One day I
will experiment to see if delays between the steps help.
