499689 - After thunderbird profile on NFS network share become unavailable, No message content until I rebuild folder index (IMAP)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 232047

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Valerio P]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009061118 Fedora/3.0.11-1.fc10 Firefox/3.0.11
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 3.0b2 (Feb 26th 2009)

User's thunderbird profile stored on a NFS+KERBEROS (secure NFS) partition.
User's gnome/kde session tipically lasts weeks.
During the night or during the weekend Kerberos ticket expires and home becomes unaccessible but session survives until I type-in the password which unlock the session and refresh KRB ticket. Most of X applications survives.
Thunderbird 2 sometimes died. Thunderbird 3.0b2 seems to stand better (never crashed) but doesn't display new message content until I rebuild folder index.
Neither double click on "Subject" in the messages list works: a new window pops up but is empty and white. I can read only sender, recipients and subject on the gray frame.
That happens to last focused folder before leaving (tipically INBOX) and to all "favourite remote folders". Headers are correctly retrieved and marked read.
Old messages content in folder is correctly displayed.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.wait until krb5 ticket expires: user's homedir and thunderbird profile become unavailable.
2.wait for pal :-) or send a message to yourself. Renew KRB5 ticket: homedir and th profile is available.
3.click or double click on a new message (message status changed) on IMAP INBOX or favorite remote folder.
Actual Results:  
New messages in a remote IMAP folders (INBOX and favorites) are listed but cant read content/body.

Expected Results:  
Should show the message body. 

Workaround: rebuild INBOX (or favorite folder) index.
