272674 - new mail does not appear in current IMAP folder

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Joshua Nixon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.90 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3)

IMAP account. thunderbird filters mail upon arrival in inbox; filtered messages
are sent to subfolders of the inbox. New mail notification shows up when mail is
sorted, but if currently browsing the folder the mail is sorted into, the new
message does not appear. Choosing view --> unread does not help, resorting
messages in folder does not help. Clicking on Inbox and then back to folder
causes new message to appear. This does not happen to mail that is left in
inbox, only to mail sorted into a subfolder by Thunderbird. Looks like failure
to refresh message header list when mail arrives.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start thunderbird, make filter to send incoming message into a subfolder of inbox
2. open subfolder to view mail (sorted newest mail first)
3. send message that should be filtered into that folder: watch for new mail
notification

Actual Results:  
new mail notification popup and new mail notify in folder list both work fine,
but new message does not appear in list of message headers for that folder.

Expected Results:  
new message should show up at top of folder.

note that inbox itself seems to work fine, but subfolders don't get refreshed;
all subfolders are subscribed and are on IMAP server, not local folders; local
copies are made for offline use though. all folders including inbox are sorted
reverse-date (newest messages at top of list).
