122075 - Expand still showing for an IMAP folder even though sub-folder has been deleted

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 161452

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Russell Odom]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

When I delete an IMAP sub-folder of a folder in the root from another app,
Mozilla picks up the change but still shows the '+'/'-' to show me I can expand it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new folder as a sub-folder of an IMAP folder.
2. Delete the folder in another application
3. Shrink then expand the server (to cause folder list refresh)

Actual Results:  Folder has the little + or - next to it, which changes when
clicked, even though there is no longer sub-folder.

Expected Results:  No + and - should be shown

Still seeing this in Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 (20030723).

But, you don't have to delete the folder in another application, you can do it
right from the same Mozilla window.

I'd nominate this bug to be considered FIXED or WONTFIX.  The question largely
surrounds what the Trash folder is, and how "trashed" folders should be
represented.  I think Mozilla (as described, and in current operation as of
{2004071408}) is operating as expected.

To demonstrate correct operation: (all within Mozilla)
1. Create a new folder as a sub-folder of an IMAP folder.
2. Delete the folder (in Mozilla or other application works fine)
   ---Mozilla dialog "Are you sure you want to move to trash?"
3. Shrink then expand the server (to cause folder list refresh) (Folder location
is represented correctly even without this step)
4. Notice that your "deleted" folder now exists as a subfolder of "Trash"
5a. "Empty Trash" removes all contents of trash
5b. "Delete Folder" prompts with "Deleting this folder is not undoable (etc...)"

In either case, the test folder is deleted.  It does not reappear in Trash or in
the original parent folder.  Much older versions of Mail/News may've had trouble
deleting "trashed" folders.  But I think it currently operates sensibly, and as
designed.

The question was not about trash folders, it was about folder deletion and the
tree +/- view controls.  But, I can no longer recreate this in Thunderbird
0.7.2, because if you delete the folder from within Thunderbird, everything
works correctly, and if you delete a folder from another application,
Thunderbird still thinks that folder is present until you close/reopen thunderbird.
