I am hiting some strange behaviour since Mozilla and now TB on Mac OS X , my IMAP foler 
is arounf 4 GB in size total and 2 GB for Inbox . Since some monthes my TB behavioung strange whhen I 
go offline and since I select to use the folder for offline from begining , so when I go offline 
and try to access my recent emails I am geting an error message saying that the email is not 
downloaded from server and I need to go back on line , I am dooing the same and it is showing me 
onthe button of the screen that downloading emails , strange things I mention it is start to happen 
whne I suddenly terminate network connection from the network , so I suspect that index got broken at 
that space and never can come back, deleting msf files are not fixed the proble. I need to delete an 
account and then to recreate it again . I would like these bug to be fix , becouse in a lot of cases with a 
slow ADSL connection you might loose TCP session to IMAP server and the whole index file get out of 
sync and you can't get it back at all. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open your tb 
2. work with IMAP 4 folder and start download a big email 
3.suddenly brake the network connection 

Actual Results:  
next time you are back you will not be able to work with your IMAP folder offline 
you need always to be on line , even if you sync 

Expected Results:  
on the next connection reindex file , and work correctly with sync offline where all emails can be 
accessible for offline use

My TB is not working at all for sync , I did moove around 4000 emails to
anouther IMAP folder on the same IMAP account and it didn't help . I did delete
profile reinstalled TB and it didin't help as well . No idea what should I do or
where I should moove to Apple Mail
