RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 457605

Details

(Keywords: dataloss, qawanted)

Steps to reproduce problem:

1. Use "Mark as deleted" option in day-to-day use (or use OE as primary client)
2. Create a new imap account (typically in a new profile)
3. Open inbox

Actual results: inbox automatically compacts

The first time this bit me because a move had failed to copy correctly although it had marked the source messages as deleted. The second time I was opening an old account that I had not used for some time so I don't know what got deleted.

neil, still see this dataloss with current trunk?
Creating imap accounts for important servers isn't something I do regularly!

Also I obviously would have to recreate the conditions each time.
seems like we need an imap log
