1995078 - The "Offline" folder flag is clobbered for EWS folders upon restart.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: Exchange, defect, P2)

Description

[Ben Campbell]

For new EWS folders, the nsMsgFolderFlags::Offline is always reset when the app is restarted (to whatever the server default is).

Steps to replicate:

1. Run with an EWS account.
2. Create a new EWS folder.
3. Right click on folder -> "Properties" -> "Synchronization" tab.
4. See that "Select this folder for offline use" is checked.
5. Uncheck it.
6. Restart the app.
7. Go back to the folder "Synchronization" tab again (step 3).
8. Look at the state of the "Select this folder for offline use" checkbox.

Observed:
Despite step 5, the checkbox is now checked.

Expected:
The checkbox should have retained the unchecked state from step 5.

As so many things, this boils down to problems in the mess that is folder initialisation.
