65591 - Compuserve imap.cs.com: Mail marked as deleted shouldn't be rebolded when rechecking for new mail

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Peter Lairo]

Mail marked as deleted shouldn't be rebolded when rechecking for new mail.

1. edit mail/news account settings - server - when delete: MARK AS DELETED
2. get new mail and read it (now it's unbolded)
3. delete mail (x appears next to envelope on left)
4. click: Get New Messages
5. deleted message is rebolded (but shouldn't)

This is particularly annoying singe the INBOX unread message count is updated
too, making one think one has more unread messages than one really has. Also a
visual scan of ones messages makes it appear that there are a lot more unread
messages (bold) than there really are.

I was not able to reproduce using build 2001-01-17-08 .
Reporter,
Are you still seeing this problem?  Can you also tell us which build you were using?

Comment 2

[Peter Lairo]

Yes, i am definetely still getting this bug.

I use: 
build 20010118, imap server, just copy new nightly over old (no delete), no new
prefs.js, winNT4sp6

Also, if i press delete on an already deleted file, it doesn't undelete (unmark
as deleted) that message. But that is probably another bug.

I cannot reproduce this problem by using 02-26-09-Mtrunk build.
Can you tell me what kind of the IMAP server are you using?

Comment 6

[Peter Lairo]

I'm still getting this on 2001-02-22

My IMAP server is Compuserve: imap.cs.com

I have "check for messages every *10* minutes" activated.

I still cannot reproduce this problem with the same setting as you.
I only see bug 69151 for NMS 4.15p4 Server & bug 59694 problems.
Adding Compuserve IMAP on the summary and interop for the keywords. This might 
be depend on different IMAP server implementation (there was bug 69757 report 
the other IMAP server mark as deleted problem....)

karen: are you still not getting this? I definetely am (2001-07-05)

Do you have messages that you have *MARKED* as deleted (they should have a
little red "x" in the icon). Then select "Get Message" and watch the read,
marked messages get RE-bolded. 

Please describe exactly what you are doing and seeing/not seeing.

I have a similar problem. It occurs after the route to the IMAP host was broken
and established again (Dial-up or modify routing tables manually).

1. receive IMAP email
2. delete some messages
3. break route to host (modify routing table / unplug network cable / hang up
dial-up network)
4. reconnect (modify routing table / replug network cable / reconnect dial-up
network)
5. check for mail

-> previously deleted messages are displayed as new in Inbox

Peter, could you attach a protocol log?

odi, your problem is simply that the server is losing state because you
disconnected the client before it had a chance to tell the server to save state,
and the server dropped all the state changes on the next connection.

This must have gotten fixed somehow - WFM (build 1.0.0+, 2002-05-11, win98)

Hey, just wait long enough, and bug magically fix themselves. ;)

great - it's possible it was fixed by a new server release.
