359143 - Folder list in IMAP doesn't get updated automatically

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[stoilis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.7 Build 20060909

I use many thunderbird clients to access the same IMAP mailbox.

There are cases(which I couldn't track down to reproduce on exact steps) that when creating new sub folders on one client, the new folder doesn't get shown on the other clients.

Shutting down Thunderbird when it can't see the newly created folder and re-executing it, doesn't solve the problem.

One SURE way to force the folder list to be updated, besides removing the IMAP account and re-creating it, is to click at the small "expand/collapse" icon at the left of the folder that misses the new sub folder.

Then, the new folder magically appears.

Reproducible: Always
