1897303 - Folder cache entries not removed on account removal

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Sean Burke [:leftmostcat]]

When deleting an account, the entries relating to its folders are not removed from folderCache.json. For EWS work, this causes properties representing local state to be incorrectly retained when deleting and recreating an account.

We would expect that https://searchfox.org/comm-central/source/mailnews/base/src/nsMsgDBFolder.cpp#3279 would address this, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Hello Sean,

Is there something QA can manually do in order to reproduce this issue?

If not, could you please update the affected version in Tracking Flags(if that applies)?

Thank you in advance!

But doesn't impact non-EWS users?
