[Twisted-Python] twisted.mail.imap4.IMAP4Client.fetchMessage always throws exception

[Wang Yan]

Hi,

I've installed Twisted 15.3.0 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS. Excellent work but there's one problem bothering me for a long time: twisted.mail.imap4.IMAP4Client.fetchMessage always throws exception and the exception occured at random, e.g. somtimes the exception occured when the program read the 120th mail, sometimes it occured at the 150th or 200th mail. The traceback of the exception is as follows:

Unhandled Error

    tag, rest = parts
exceptions.ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

My code is as simple as possible and the exception is thrown by the following codes:

dlist = []
for msg in messages:    # use message number, not UID
    d = self.fetchMessage(msg, uid=False)
    d.addCallback(cbGetAttachment)
    dlist.append(d)
dl = defer.DeferredList(dlist)
return dl.addCallback(cbLogout)

Is there anybody know about this issue?
