User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 Build ID: 20111104165243 Steps to reproduce: Opened TB, which is set to sync with an IMAP profile upon startup. Actual results: TB behaves as though a sync has not occurred since sometime on 6/2/2011 (not sure if the date has any significance) regardless of when the last sync was, resulting in re-downloading of thousands of headers/messages that have been previously downloaded. I am currently running v8.0, although this has been continually occuring ever since installing v5.0. TB appears to not recognize synced messages downloaded to the local ImapMail files. Furthermore, every time TB re-syncs the messages, the local file size increases, producing files that are huge compared to the IMAP directory size on the server (e.g. my 'INBOX' file has ballooned to over 16GB, even though the corresponding server directory is less than 800MB). Expected results: The profile should reflect the most recent sync with the server.

(In reply to bigtallmatt from comment #0) Is that a gmail account? if yes, check bug 517466.
It is not a gmail account. I should also mention that I sync the account in question with multiple copies of TB on multiple PCs, and only one of them seems to be having any problems, so I'm pretty sure it's not a problem on the server side.
Can we get a imap and ImapAutoSync logs when you are having the issue ? see our documentation on getting the logs at https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging
