151378 - summary in mail window does not match messages

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Thomas Pfau]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
BuildID:    2002052918

Mozilla (and Netscape 6.x) doesn't seem to notice that a IMAP mail folder has
been accessed by another program.  If I access my mail folders with another
program and then come back to Mozilla or Netscape to view mail, the message
information in the main mail window does not necessarily match the message when
it is selected for viewing.  There does not appear to be a way to re-synchronize
Mozilla's cached folder summary information.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Access mail with Mozilla or Netscape then close all browser and mail windows.
2.Access mail using another program such as mutt and manipulate the contents of
the folder by deleting some messages or moving them to other folders. Then close
the other program.
3.Restart Mozilla or Netscape and open the mail folder. Click on messages to see
mismatches around the area where messages were moved or deleted.

Actual Results:  I noticed information in the list that did not match the
messages when viewed.

Expected Results:  Summary information in the list should match the actual
contents of the mailbox.  If it is not possible to detect that the mailbox has
been modified outside of Mozilla/Netscape, there should be a menu option
somewhere that allows the user to resynchronize the cache.  Currently, the only
way I can find to fix this problem is to exit Mozilla/Netscape and locate and
delete the .msf file associated with the mailbox.
