271080 - Mailbox list pane can become confused when accessing IMAP mailbox using multiple methods

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Daniel Sutcliffe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Thunderbird/0.9

I access my mailboxes using many different manners IMAPS/Thunderbird, Mutt
command line and SquirrelMail Web/IMAP being the main ones.  Occasionally I do
something and Thunderbird will get mixed up about which mail in the list goes
with which body.  To me this is fair enough as I'm not using normally and am
almost going out of my way to confuse it.  My issue is that there is no easy way
to rescue the Thunderbird mailbox (cache, I presume) from this.  It would be
nice to have a "Reread mailbox headers" option - or even to do this
automatically when I select "compact mailbox".

Reproducible: Sometimes

Not exactly sure what causes the problem to happen but that is not the point.
