301741 - Filter with "delete the mesage" checked doesn't delete

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[james davis]

The filter log shows that the action is delete (i'll upload the gif) but
the message is still in the Inbox. This was working on my last update from the
trunk (trying to figure out which release) and is broken with trunk 20050722.

I'm going to close this. I'm connected to an IMAP server and it appears, that if
I just wait for some long unknown time, the filter will actually apply and
"delete" (move to trash for my config) the messages in the Inbox. Not sure why
but I think
there must be some IMAP weirdness that the filter doesn't work immediatly. Maybe
it took several restarts of tb to make it work with the IMAP Inbox. I tried
several trunk releases back and got the same behaviour. I'm back on the latest
trunk.
