282731 - IMAP SendTo Filter (non-local) duplicates messages

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Miguelanxo Otero Salgueiro]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

Sendto message filter (from an IMAP account Inbox to a IMAP folder of same IMAP
account) produces duplicate messages in destination folder if thunderbird kept
open as long as to trigger a new IMAP check for new mail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a remote IMAP account, Create new IMAP folder in that account (named
'test').

2. Setup a message filter to move mail from IMAP account Inbox to IMAP account
'test' folder.

3. Send a message to IMAP account that triggers filter, and see the message
going to 'test' folder.

Actual Results:  
Wait until a new "check for new mail". See same message duplicated in 'test'
folder. If you wait long enough, you could end with tens of duplicates.


Expected Results:  
No duplicates. Message moved to 'test' folder.

Some related bugs talk about filter to local Folder. This one is for a remote
Folder.

a) Suggest addition of 'testcase' keyword
b) Suggest severity be 'upped to 'major' as this gets very ugly with multiple
filters on high-traffic IMAP servers.
c) Suggest status be changed to reflect 'CONFIRMED'. I've been able to reproduce
this with Thunderbird trunk 20050321.

Attachment: IMAP Protocol Dump/Log

Log contains information about me:

... logging into my corporate email (disregard)
... logging into FastMail account (was used for earlier bug)
... receiving mail from corporate to FastMail
... viewing of folder specified as target for filtered mail

Additional note: The Inbox received a copy of the duplicated message when the
rule states it should be moved into the 'Test Msgs' folder!

Total of three messages on receipt of only one.

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
