83855 - new messages not showing up in counts on folder tree after filtering on another system

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 18266

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Jeff]

This is a bug about the New Message counts that show up in parentheses next to
the folder name in the Mail Folders tree.   Normally when a new message arrives
it is included in the count of whatever folder it gets filtered into so that the
user can tell how many new messages there are.  This does not work if the user
does Get Msg on one machine and then later logs in from another machine except
in the case where the message went into INBOX.

I can imagine an argument that checking each subscribed folder cause a lot of
network traffic or something but should not decisions such as this be left up to
the user?

IMAP SERVER: UW-IMAPD with maildir support (debian potato)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Set Mozilla on machine A and machine B to read mail from the same IMAP account.

On Machine A:
2. Launch Mozilla and log into the IMAP account.
3. Set up a filter to move any message it receives with subject "IMAPBUG" to go
to folder "imapbugfolder" (create new folder if necessary)
4. Send a message to yourself with subject "IMAPBUG"
5. Click on the Get Msg button.
6. Observe that the "imapbugfolder" folder has its count increased in response
to the new message
7. Quit Mozilla

On Machine B:
8. Launch Mozilla and log into the IMAP account
9. Click on the Get Msg button
10. Observe that the "imapbugfolder" folder does not the correct new message count.
(11. Click on the "imapbugfolder" folder and observe that new message count
being updated to the correct value)

There was bug 57660 logged the similar problem but that bug is for accessing 
only one IMAP account.
This bug logged for accessing same account on different machines...

Actually, filter implementation should base on the clients setup...

If you setup the Filter on machine A, 
On machine B (without filter setup), filtered msgs won't reflect the change on 
that folder until you click that folder again -- this seems "work as design" on 
our client side.....

Scott, can you confirm and mark this bug "wontfix" so I can close this bug? 
Thanks.

Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps:

1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN)
2) Create a new profile
3) test the bug again

If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response
were quite overloaded here and understaffed.

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

This is because we only query the inbox folder and none else.  Thus it is a dupe
of bug 18266 - 'Query IMAP folders other than INBOX for new msgs'
