886325 - TB is fetching all the headers when I try to read one new mail from a folder

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Emmanuel Lecharny]

Attachment: imap.log

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130511120803

Steps to reproduce:

I have something like 150 folders, with some of them containing 25K messages. 

When a new message is signaled in one folder (the number of new messages is shown), and if I select this folder to read the new messages, it takes quite a while to get those messages to appear


Actual results:

I have set some imap logs (see attachment) which show that all the headers are being fetched, no matter what. When you have 25K headers to fetch, it takes quite a while.

Side note : the folders are configured to check if there are some new messages available.

Side note 2 : I'm fetching the mails from gmail (just in case...)


Expected results:

Only the new headers should have been fetched.

FTR, I have compacted the folders, same pb. 

I'm also almost pretty sure that those delays weren't present in the previous versions of TB.

Seems so. But I really can't switch the mail.server.default.autosync_offline_stores parameter to false, as I have around 200 folders and it's a no go to check them manually.

However, since a few weeks, the pb seems to be away (or unnoticable at least).
