Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 462880

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Saïvann Carignan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.307.5 Safari/532.9
Build Identifier: 3.0.1

When using Thunderbird with a Gmail IMAP account, thunderbird does not keep message list updated in inbox. As an example, if I get a new mail in thunderbird IMAP inbox, and that I delete the same message in Gmail, it stay in thunderbird inbox. When I click on it, thunderbird just show a blank area, and when I exit inbox / close thunderbird / reopen thunderbird, the messages stay there while is should disappear since it has been deleted. Strangely, Read/Unread status is correctly updated, but the message list is not.

This problem is reproducible with thunderbird 3 + and it does not appear with thunderbird 2, therefore seems to be a regression.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure Thunderbird on two computers with a IMAP gmail account, default settings.
2. Send yourself a mail, and make sure that Thunderbird #1 and Thunderbird #2 both got the new message in inbox.
3. Delete the message with thunderbird #2.
4. Go back to your inbox with thunderbird #1.
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird #1 still show the deleted message in inbox.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird #1 should not show the deleted message in inbox, since it is no longer in inbox.

Same problem as Bug 528233? (i.e. dup of bug 462880?)
