447812 - Pending IMAP counts don't work with virtual folders

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Search, defect)

Description

[Kent James (:rkent)]

If I create a situation where pending IMAP counts are a factor (such as moving a message to an IMAP folder with a filter), then virtual folders searching the destination do not show the correct counts.

STR:

1) Create a filter that moves incoming POP3 messages with "Iamtest" in the subject to an IMAP folder "test"
2) Setup a virtual folder on the IMAP test account (for example with Status Isnt Read)
3) Send a message that matches the filter

Expected results: Unread count increments on both IMAP test folder, as well as on virtual folder. Both folders show the NEW decoration.

Actual results: Only the IMAP test folder shows the correct Unread count and the NEW decoration until the IMAP test folder is opened.

probably not an easy fix?

The fix is probably easy, it is the unforeseen regressions that are hard.
