1994843 - Renaming or moving an IMAP folder clears it's "Select this folder for offline use" synchronization setting

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 82262

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Ben Campbell]

If you move or rename an IMAP folder, it's nsMsgFolderFlags::Offline flag is cleared.
That flag is displayed in the folder properties dialog, under the "Synchronization" tab, as the "Select this folder for offline use" checkbox.

Steps to replicate:

1. run with an IMAP account
2. create a new folder
3. right-click on the folder and pick "Properties" from the context menu.
4. Click the "Synchronization" tab
5. See that the "Select this folder for offline use" checkbox is checked.
6. close the folder properties dialog
7. rename or remove the folder
8. right-click and open the folder properties again, and click on the "Synchronization" tab.
9. look at the state of the "Select this folder for offline use" checkbox.

Observed behaviour:

The checkbox is checked at step 5, but clear by step 9.

Expected behaviour:

The checkbox at step 9 should be the same state as it was in step 5.

Isn't this related to Bug 82262? IMAP Renaming folder unsets every customized folder property: charset, sortby, favorites, retention policy, "check this folder", etc

Plus at least one more Bug 1886986 - Renaming an IMAP folder resets view settings
