IMAP Test 25: the test email did not show up in imaptesting during our Nov 5 live test
Luiz Fernando Abreu
During our live test on Nov 5, IMAP Test 25 of b.1 stayed pending. Per the ETT description, the proctor sends an email to the SUT, and the SUT shows the change in count and size when it arrives. We saw no new message in the mailbox we read. Details:
1. Mailbox: imapt...@james.healthit.gov, INBOX folder. We read it at 14:12, 14:16 and 14:21 UTC, and the count stayed at 1 in all three reads.
2. The message that was there: from vendor...@james.healthit.gov, Message-ID 2146338580.241.1793050034...@james.healthit.gov, 932 bytes in total, with one attachment part that has no content. Per the Message-ID, it was created on Oct 26 at 21:27 UTC, so we assume it was already in the mailbox before the test.
3. In the public ETT code (master, commit 629cf56), case 225 calls testStatusUpdate in "mail protocols/src/main/java/gov/nist/healthcare/ttt/smtp/testcases/TTTReceiverTests.java" (line 998). The method builds a message to wellfo...@hit-testing2.nist.gov (line 1020), connects to smtp.gmail.com and closes the connection (lines 1044 to 1046) without calling sendMessage. The deployed version can be different.
What we ask:
a) Please confirm who sends the Test 25 email (the ETT or the proctor) and which mailbox it goes to, so our system reads the right one.
b) Please check why the 932-byte message has an empty attachment and, if possible, remove it or replace it with one that has a valid attachment.
c) Please post here when this is fixed. We will run Test 25 again with Drummond in a new session, and we can check on our side the same day.
Thank you!

Hi ETT Team,
I am following up on my colleague Luiz’s post to ask for an update or escalation. I am Mathina Evans, Director of Product and I lead our ONC certification roadmap.
These are the open questions from Luiz’s post:
1) Please confirm who sends the Test 25 email (the ETT or the proctor) and which mailbox it goes to, so our system reads the right one.
2) Please confirm whether the Oct 26 message (932 bytes, empty attachment part) is part of the expected mailbox state for Test 25. If it is not, can you replace it with a message that has a valid attachment?
3) Please post here when this is resolved. We will run Test 25 again with Drummond in a new session and can check on our side the same day.
The 2026 performance year is coming to an end, and IMAP Test 25 is the last item we need to pass to complete our final live CEHRT testing. Our Drummond proctor has asked that this be resolved before we can pass b.1. Any update this week would help us schedule the retest with Drummond before the deadline.
Thank you,
Mathina

Hi ETT Team,
I wanted to bring some additional attention to the open issue with IMAP Test 25 referenced below. This is currently preventing our client from completing their b.1 testing.
We are hoping to get this resolved as soon as possible so we can schedule a retest next week. Could you please provide an update on the investigation and an anticipated timeframe for resolution?
Any assistance in prioritizing this would be greatly appreciated, as we are trying to keep the client's testing on schedule.
Thank you!
