Details

(Whiteboard: [regression:tb68?])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.123 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I run

Name 	Thunderbird
Version 	68.12.1
Build ID 	20200929010218
Update History 	
Update Channel 	release
User Agent 	Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/68.12.1
OS 	Linux 5.8.13-200.fc32.x86_64

, installed from Mozilla/upstream.

IMAP backend is

dovecot --version
	2.3.11.3 (502c39af9)

MailFolder sharing is enabled, under a shared namespace, with IMAP prefix = 'shared/%%u/'

'user1' shares a folder, "SHARED", currently with 'Full Control' rights to 'user2'.

@ 'user1', the SHARED folder hierarchy is

SHARED/
	folder1/
		folder2/
			file21

it's currently visible/usable @ 'user2' TBird client.

shared/
	user2@example.com/
		SHARED/
			folder1/
				folder2/
					file21

If I add a folder @ 'user1' in TBird,

SHARED/
	folder1/
		folder2/
			file21
		folder3/

The change/addition is NOT seen @ 'user2'.

Toggling any/all of the folders @ 'user2' closed/open has NO EFFECT.

But,
after QUIT+RELAUNCH user2's Tbird, PLUS toggling closed/open all expanded folders,
the added folder appears.

Actual results:

server-side changes to shared IMAP folders FAIL to refresh until AFTER TBird restart

Expected results:

server-side changes to shared IMAP folders successfully refresh (or refreshable) in current/existing session instance

Sorry, we're 68 is EOL so we're not doing future patches there.
You'll want to see if it still reproduces in version 78.

upgraded to

Name 	Thunderbird
Version 	78.3.2
Build ID 	20201006011220
Distribution ID 	
Update Directory 	
/usr/local/thunderbird.release.78x
Update History 	
Update Channel 	release
User Agent 	Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/78.3.2
OS 	Linux 5.8.13-200.fc32.x86_64

exactly same behavior with v78x as reported with v68ESR -- updates in mounted IMAP shares are not seen until AFTER a TBird reboot.

Version: 68 → 78
Summary: Tbird 68.12.1 mounted IMAP shares fail to refresh after server-side changes, until AFTER reboot → Tbird 78.3.2 mounted IMAP shares fail to refresh after server-side changes, until AFTER reboot

please version field at the original reported version. thanks

Whiteboard: [regression:tb68?]
Version: 78 → 68

please version field at the original reported version. thanks

I don't see the purpose.

I no longer use v68.

You stated it's EOL'd/unsupported, and suggested I update to, and reproduce in, v78.

Which I've done.

I'll never switch back, nor provide any further information re: v68.

It's now a bug re: v78.

Do you need a identical bug re-filed for v78?

(In reply to xrave from comment #4)

please [keep] version field at the original reported version. thanks

I don't see the purpose.

It explicitly indicates what version the problem is first seen.

Do you need a identical bug re-filed for v78?

No, please don't. If a bug report is still open it implies it also impacts the current version - unless someone states otherwise.

Does this still reproduce with newer versions?
