Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 82658
Imap message cache problems
Last modified: 2008-01-17 12:49:42 EST
* mozilla-mail-1.2.1-7 * Phoebe public beta 2 (upgraded from an up2date 8.0) Sometimes when reading my mail (via imap) in mozilla-mail, I will click on a message title and find a completely different message displayed. In the case I am looking at right now, I will am clicking on a bugzilla notice for one bug and getting the mozilla notice for a different bug. If I log into the mail server and read the folder directly, it appears that the entry in the message summary is the correct one. The other message that mozilla is showing me doesn't even exist on the server anymore (and hasn't for at least 12 hours). I have seen the same problem reading mail from another imap server as well. Usually, exiting and reloading mozilla makes things sane again. The mozilla instance I am using now has been running about 24 hours.
I too noticed this bug in Phoebe2. I didn't notice this behavior in Mozilla of Phoebe1. My Mozilla is typically running for days or more.
Running Rawhide mozilla-1.2.1-16 now. I haven't experienced this problem for a while now. Can anyone confirm?
