214297 - filters create duplcates in IMAP if mozilla mail running at more than one location

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 193325

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[mozilla.org]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I typically have my Mozilla mail open and running 24hrs on my PC at work.  I 
have the same mail filters set up on my Mozilla at home.  So when I log in at 
home, I often end up with 2 copies of the filtered messages in the folders on 
my IMAP account.  (I'm using the filters to move various mailing list messages 
into separate IMAP folders.) Apparently both instances of Mozilla are copying 
the incoming file to same destination folder, oblivious to what the other 
Mozilla is doing.  It seems that Mozilla should be able to detect that the 
message has already been copied, and not make such duplicates.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up filter to move messages to an IMAP folder on PC1
2. Set up same filter to move same messages to the same IMAP folder on PC2
3. Have both computers runnning mozilla simultaneously
4. Send email message to self that matches that filter.


Actual Results:  
Two copies of the message show up in the destination IMAP folder

Expected Results:  
The second instance of Mozilla to try to run the filter should recognize that 
the same message already exists in the target folder and take no action.

I have my action on delete set to "move to trash" if that makes a difference.
