290083 - When IMAP server prematurely drops a connection new messages are marked unread.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Anders]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317) (english)

The imap server I use always drops the connection before the halv hour is up. I
connect and mark the new messages read. If the connection is dropped,
thunderbird will silently login again without telling me the connection was
dropped (in pre 1.0 versions there was this anoying alert that the connection
was dropped). But all messages that were new are marked unread again. If I have
moved the new messages to a new folder they will reappear as new in the inbox
again giving me a copy in the other folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure the imap server drops the connection before the 30 minutes are up.
2. Read new messages, thus marking them read.
3. Leave thunderbird idle until the connection is dropped.
4. Press "Get mail"

Actual Results:  
The messages previoulsy marked as read are marked unread.

Expected Results:  
Leave the messages read.

Hmmm, seems like this was fixed in one of the dot releases.

Yupp, it was fixed in 1.0.2. My bad, sorry.
