1157205 - Thunderbird doesn't show correct date in thread pane - should update to correct date after downloading the complete message

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

Attachment: imap_x.log

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.63 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Run thunderbird and get messsages.


Actual results:

The date of the messages shown in thread pane is the time when those messages were first downloaded, but the date in message pane is correct (the actual send date)


Expected results:

The date should be the actual send date in thread pane.

I followed the instructions in Bug 402594, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402594 .
In the attached log, Thunderbird has requested Date / Received in BODY.PEEK msg. However, the first response of the IMAP server didn't contain these 2 fields. It seemed that these fields were avaiable till the whole message was downloaded.
Anyway, at least Thunderbird got the correct date finally. But the date didn't get propagated into the thread pane. This led to troubles in sorting or quick glancing.
