272548 - IMAP Subscribe... does not show new selections correctly on refresh

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Simon Tuckwell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: version 1.0RC1RC1 (20041130)

The IMAP Subscribe... dialog allows me to change my folder subscription
selections, however, on clicking Refresh it does not remember the new selections
correctly.  If I change a folder selection from Checked to Unchecked then click
Refresh the selection is now shown as Checked.  When I click OK the folder is
then unsubscribed, even though the selection was shown as Checked.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-Click account and open Subscribe...
2. Change the tick selection for a folder
3. Click refresh

Actual Results:  
Folder Tick is shown in an incorrect state.

Expected Results:  
Remembered previous tick state or correctly reset the selections after refresh.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

Still present in version 1.5.0.4 (20060615).

I opened the Subscribe... dialog,
ticked a folder (subscribing to it),
clicked "Refresh",
and that folder was listed with no tick mark in its box.

Still present in version 2.0.0.12 (20080226).

The bug does not appear to be affected by the type of IMAP server in use.  I have been able to reproduce the problem against Courier, Cyrus and Exchange servers.
