Description of problem: Selecting "File/Offline/Download Sync Now does not synchronize any of the selected folders and respective messages. Instead Thunderbird just goes offline leaving you with no messages that can read. I would assume this is a regression, but I do not have a previous RHEL instance try on.

Closing as NOTABUG Perhaps there has been a change in the UI? I just noticed that under sync options "Mail messages" was not checked. I believe it was checked by default in previous releases. Check the box and sync works.
