Description

Specifying multiple literal is an issue for ImapRequestFrameDecoder::uploadToAFile as once the transfer is initialized the file size is no longer renegociated. This means the IMAP decoders fall short of data and fail. We would need to rework the file transfer consumption in order to:

• Move message parsing part of the message consumption
• Stop it only on successful parsing
• and cary other NotEnnoughDataException to the consumer to increase it's expectations regarding transfered data

While not a major issue today (no use case?) we would need to fix this in order to implement IMAP multiappend. I am opening this ticket in order to remember about this.
