No, no experience, but maybe an answer? :) > I've been having odd, have-to-reproduce problems when several people are > using TB at the same time to monitor the same Inbox.

It sounds like TB is keeping a locally cached copy of the headers (not unusual), but when the message is selected, and it was deleted in the background, TB is failing. It would seem to me that this is, perhaps, a bug? I would suggest at least filing a bug report on this one. If you have access to another IMAP server, I would try reproducing this there just to see if it's only Binc this happens with. > It seems like TB and Binc aren't staying 100% in sync.

This seems to make things better, but not perfect. Dropping the timeout would probably cause TB to resync more often, reducing the chances of this happening. > Has anyone else observed anything like this? This happens with Evolution as well.
