[Bug 334624] Re: Thunderbird doesn't synchronize IMAP until the program is closed

[Bruno Girin]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: thunderbird
  
  I'm using 64-bit Jaunty Kubuntu on two machines. I use an IMAP account
  because it's important to me that I have the same email on both
  machines.
  
  While I was using Intrepid, changes to my email happened immediately.
  For example, if I had both machines running with thunderbird open on
  both, if I deleted an email on one, it would be deleted on the other.
  Now, in order for the changes on one Thunderbird to propogate to the
  other I have to close Thunderbird. As soon as I do, all the changes I've
  made propogate to the other thunderbird and then on my webmail.
  
  The first thing I did was call my email support number, and they reset
  my account and that didn't fix it. They said no configuration changed,
  so it must be Thunderbird.
  
  Another example is if I have Thunderbird open and webmail open in
  Firefox, then I delete an email in Thunderbird, the email isn't deleted
  in webmail. Once I close Thunderbird, the changes I've made to my
  messages then appear in webmail. For whatever reason, Thunderbird does
  something when it closes to synchronize, instead of in real time.
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1. Open Thunderbird for an IMAP account
+ 2. Send a test email to that account from a different account (such as webmail)
+ 3. No change in Thunderbird
+ 4. Close Thunderbird
+ 5. Open Thunderbird again
+ 6. The new email appears
+ 
+ Expected behaviour:
+ The new email should appear as soon as step #3 above
+ 
+ Actual behaviour:
+ The new email only appears at step #6 above, after closing and re-opening Thunderbird
