User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4 Build Identifier: tbird version 1.0+ 20050531 I have my inbox set to have all messages sync'ed when I go offline. When I do go offline, there are some messages that don't get cached. Even if I manually use the sync command before I go offline, the messages still don't get cached. I created a debug log for the IMAP and IMAPOFFLINE at level 5. Toward the end of the log I was viewing a message that wasn't in the cache. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select a folder to sync when going offline 2.Go offline 3. Actual Results: Some messages don't get cached as they are supposed to Expected Results: All messages in the selected mailbox should be downloaded to the local cache.
I ran a log for IMAP and IMAPOFFLINE at level 5. I then proceeded to go offline. Toward the end of the log, I was attempting to read a message that should have beeb cached but wasn't.
I can confirm this bug - it appears to be a duplicate of 296154. I see the same problem frequently. I try using File->Offline->Download selected messages, to force a sync, but that usually does not help.
What build are you running? I fixed a problem like this a couple months ago, iirc.

In 2.0.0 builds (e.g. 2.0.0.16), I still see this problem. I must admit I don't use "offline" as much as I used to, since it's pretty easy these days to be online. However, I do tend to find that it gets screwed up, particularly after doing a delete trash and compact folders. I sometimes have to "rebuild index" to get everything refreshed again, which is expensive, as it has to potentially download a lot of things I already had downloaded...

I've also checked this in beta 4, and it continues to work very well.
