340615 - After Broken IMAP connection, duplicated/mismatched entries in folder content view

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Peter D. Pruyne]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: version 1.5.0.4 (20060516)

After broken IMAP connection (network disconnect, IMAP server reboot, etc), inbox view has pairwise duplicated entries.  Click on one and you get the expected message, click on the other and you get a completely different message.  Different message is one that was moved/deleted from inbox.  Seems like a cache-ing issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.use IMAP
2. delete some messages from inbox
3. unplug your network connection or shutdown/restart the mail server
4. shutdown&restart thunderbird
5. view messages with same subject/sender/etc in folder-content-pane


Actual Results:  
Saw two messages in folder view, identical information, sender/subject/time.  Selecting one shows expected message content, selecting other shows deleted message content.

Expected Results:  
Upon restart folder-content-pane should show same set of messages as when test began. 

I.E. the deleted messages are still there because the IMAP connection was not closed properly.

BUT deletion-failed messages should show their REAL subject/sender

Interestingly, if you have "order received" showing, it is correct for all messages.

I.E.  Unlike the sender/subject/date feilds, the order recieved value shown is NOT a duplicate of a message you didn't delete from the inbox.

I have had this happen to me as well.  At some point (I'm still not sure when) I still see duplicate messages in the message list.  Clicking on each one doesn't change the content, though - as far as Thunderbird seems to be concerned they are the same.  Double clicking on each to open it up yields the same message.  Restarting Thunderbird doesn't seem to help.  If I connect to my IMAP server via a webmail client, the true message shows.  

If I right click on an IMAP folder and Rebuild Index, it fixes the problem.
