518789 - Messages get redownloaded infinitely from IMAP server

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 517466

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

Since update to Thunderbird 3.0b4 all messages received since this get redownloaded in a loop, mainly the inbox. The messages are displayed correct and correctly only once. The local folder grows and grows.

I tried to delete the local folder file with the effect that all messages from the inbox get redownloaded infinitely.

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
The mails are downloaded once and stored for offline view

This looks like a dup of bug 517466

Reporter could you provide an imap log as described in https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging ?

Attachment: The logfile after the python script published under bug 517466

First I createt that logfile and run it threw your python script because I don't want to send you all my private mails.

Because I wanted to createt another plain logfile, I moved all my private mails to another folder.

After that the remaining mails aren't redownloaded any more.

I send a mail to me with an attachment to generate heavy traffic so the download of the mails costs more time. Thunderbird receives the mail once and after that checks for new mails as expected. 

But if I synchronise my mails with the IMAP server over all folders it redownloads all the mails in the other folder where I moved my inbox mails.


After turning back to Thunderbird 3.0b3 the behaviour is gone.
