327268 - Identical clientside rules create multiple copies of message when Thunderbird is running at two different locations with same set of rules.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 193325

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Bordignon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: version 1.5 (20051201)

Say I have a open TB client. I make a rule to move mail from [e-mail] when it arrives, to a subfolder of my inbox.

All good. It moves it no problem.
Then I start another client on another machine (say, at home, the first client is at work) -- both accessing the same IMAP server.

When both are open at the same time, and mail arrives, I find that I have two copies of the message in the folder specified.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create identical client-side rules on each instance of TB on each machine.
2. Receive mail.
3. Watch duplication arise.

Actual Results:  
I had two copies of the same message in the folder which I asked TB to move the message to (one from each client, I assume).

Expected Results:  
One copy of the message. I expect it to check whether the message is there in the first place, before moving it. Surely Thunderbird can perform a simple task like this which even Outlook can manage.

My apologies for the Outlook comment - didn't intend it to come out like that.
