I have not tried Linux or Mac yet.

Using an IMAP test account "qatest33 on tintin". When I get messages they do not
appear in the Inbox. I must change to another folder and go back to the Inbox to
see the new messages. This only happens with qatest33 and not qatest22 which is
on the dredd server.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using 4.6 Configure for an IMAP qatest33 test account.
2. Create a prefs50.js file which only references the qatest33 account.
3. Launch apprunner.
4. In the browser select Tasks/Messenger
5. Select the New Message button and address the message to qatest33, type a
subject and some text in the body and send the message.
6. In the 3-pane view select Get Messages and the new message does not appear.
7. Switch to another folder.
8. Switch back to the Inbox and the new message appears.

I'm sceptical that this has much to do with imap since the new tree widget just
landed in this build and a lot of things don't work well.

It looks to me like one problem is that get msg is being run on the server
folder and not the inbox. I don't remember who implemented getmsg, or who is
supposed to translate imap getmsg into a getmsg on the inbox. I can't find any
code doing that on the stack.

adding people who might have a clue to cc list.

This is fixed (get new msgs was not updating the inbox, just the selected
folder, and the account manager changes for putting user names in uri's was
messing things up). So now new messages show up, but there's some weirdness that
I believe has to do with the new tree control - newly added headers blink in a
weird way. I wonder if anyone else sees that?

The test account qatest33 is retrieving messages without having to change the
folder. I tried retrieving messages with the scroll bar at the top of the thread
pane. Also retrieved messages with the scroll bar at the bottom of the thread
pane.
