100709 - Opening an IMAP folder that has been externally altered hangs reader

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Nigel Jewell]

I have a filter that moves messages (from a specific domain) from my Inbox to a
particular folder.  Then I run procmail to process these messages and move them
to a second folder.  Anyway ... if I select the first (temporary) folder after
procmail has been executed (and the message count still says there are unread
messages) I get the "busy" cursor and the folder is never opened.

If I select a "non-modified" folder and then go back to the modified one -
everything is okay.

Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps:

1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN)
2) Create a new profile
3) test the bug again

If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response
were quite overloaded here and understaffed.

reporter, does this still happen in recent builds?

Comment 4

[Nigel Jewell]

No ... clicking on the folder now opens it fine.

However the contents can be out of sync with the actual contents if the folder
has been processed by procmail.  But I guess that is another bug (?).

ok. marking as WORKSFORME based on comment #4

the out of sync problem is out of the scope of this bug as it is about a hang
i /think/ i've seen a bug # for the out of sync issue, but may not be sure

you may file a new bug report if you want to make sure it doesn't get overlooked
