1912581 - Number of downloaded message header stays at 1

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Paul Menzel]

Attachment: header-message-1.png

Steps to reproduce:

With https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1912195 I noticed, that the status message which message header is downloaded stays at one as can be seen at the attached screenshots. I am seeing message headers to be downloaded, so assume that number should increase.

Expected results:

The number should be the correct one.

No idea, if this is for a different inbox/folder or not.

Are you saying the "count" stays at 1 but eventually the headers all download and the status message goes away?

Regarding the other bug 1912195, did you just update TB to 128 and started running with the same profile as was last used with 115? That should work OK and not require any re-downloads of headers. (I assume this is IMAP and you only store headers locally and not the full messages or else it may take a long time to re-download all the email bodies.)

Yes, in that one occurrence it was like this. Normally, the count is shown correctly.

Regarding the other bug 1912195, did you just update TB to 128 and started running with the same profile as was last used with 115?

Yes, just an update.

That should work OK and not require any re-downloads of headers. (I assume this is IMAP and you only store headers locally and not the full messages or else it may take a long time to re-download all the email bodies.)

Yes, I expected so too, and, yes, only headers.

As added in bug 19112195, the downloading of the headers happens at every start.

I have seen status stay at "1 of X" for longer than expected time but then it started updating when I was downloading a huge folder with about 450000 headers (testing bug 1912195) . To avoid slowing down productive activities (downloading), the status display is only updated about every 5 seconds but sometimes it may get delayed a bit more (it has low priority) and appear to "freeze" for a while.

Paul, do you still see this?
Unless it's reproducible, seems we can close it.
