280269 - Messages not deleted on server when moved from Inbox

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[tncberns]

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

I have my preferences set to Leave Messages on the Server Until I delete them or
move them from the Inbox. However when I move messages to Local Folders, the
message remains on the server. This is causing my mailbox on the server to be
out of sync with Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the preference as described
2. Select a message and drag that message to a sub-folder under Local Folders
3.

Actual Results:  
The message moves from the Inbox to the Local Folders sub-folder. If I close
Thunderbird and use a web based email client such as Mail2Web I still see the
message on the server.

Expected Results:  
The message should have been downloaded to the Local Folders, and deleted from
the Inbox on the server.

Deletion request is sent on next POP3 server connection.
(On move from Inbox, "delete required indicator" is set in popstate.dat file.)

(Q1)What will happen when next procdure?
    (1) Get Msgs
    (2) Move a mail to a folder under "Local Folders",
        and check X-UIDL header of the mail via. View /Message Source
    (3) Terminate Thunderbird
    (4) Check contents for the UIDL in popstate.dat
        (under directry of "Server Settings"/"Local directry:" of the account)
    (5) Restart Thunderbird
    (6) Get Msgs again
    (7) Check mails on server using other software

If mail is not deleted from server, check what happens when the mail is moved to
a folder under the account instead of "Local Folders".

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
