[Bug 1796777] [NEW] thunderbird download settings are inconsistent

[Humphrey van Polanen Petel]

Public bug reported:

When "message synchronizing" is set to download messages from an IMAP
account, a newly created folder under the inbox is automatically set to
download messages as well, but when that folder is then moved (using the
mouse) under some other folder, the "download" check box on the panel
"Items for offline use" is cleared.
