264138 - IMAP messages do not display after a 1st time install

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[trix supremo]

After a first time setup of an IMAP account, the messages in the inbox are not
displayed.

Steps:
1. setup environment for a 1st time install(remove prior profiles).
2. launch and setup an IMAP account (assuming new messages currently avail in
the Inbox).
3. login to mail account.

Results:
The Inbox icon displays the number of new messages, but no messages are
displayed in the panel.

Expected:
Messages to be displayed.

Note:
If you click on other folders in your IMAP account and then click back on the
Inbox, your messages will now display.  If you reboot the app the messages will
also appear in the panel.  The issue is only an initial refresh problem.

I think I'm seeing this as well on aviary builds. It's regularly the case in the
last week or so that I don't see any messages in my IMAP inbox until I switch to
another folder and back to the inbox. 

Tested: latest aviary builds on winXP.

I was not able to reproduce this. Trix, can you get an imap protocol log, and
also look to see if there are any errors in the js console?

i'm gonna minus this for now since we haven't been able to reproduce this yet.
Trix, feel free to renominate if you can trigger this again.
