1960667 - Automatically Update IMAP Keyword Changes (Tags) from Server

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 591683

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, enhancement)

Description

[Dustin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:137.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/137.0

Steps to reproduce:

Use an IMAP server that supports KEYWORDS (e.g., Dovecot).

Connect to the same IMAP account using Thunderbird on two separate computers (or profiles).

Tag (color-label) an email message on Client A.

Wait for changes to sync on Client B.

Actual results:

On Client B, the message tag does not update until:

The message is clicked (selected), or
The folder is refreshed (e.g., switch to another folder and back).

Expected results:

Client B should automatically detect and reflect the tag (IMAP keyword) change shortly after it's made on Client A, without requiring manual interaction. If not immediately, perhaps when Thunderbird checks for new mail.
