My problem is that I have to different sessions accessing the same
mailbox.
When one of the sessions are deleting mails in the mailbox the other
session
still holds the data for theese deleted messages, which means that cache
does
not contain the same data as the store/mailbox.
I would like to force an update of the stream/cache to make sure that both
the store and cache will be in sync.
Regards,
Jess

What is it that you wish to accomplish? What do you mean by a "total
refresh"?
Since IMAP is a stateful protocol, there is generally no reason why you
would want to do the type of "refresh" operation that you need to do with
web pages or NFS.
More to the point; the only reasons why you need to call mail_open() again
is if you want to open a different mailbox or if the IMAP session got
broken and the stream is dead. If you have a live stream open on the
mailbox that you want, there should be no reason to "refresh" it.
So, you may confused; I certainly am with your question. I suspect that
you observed a problem, you think that the solution is to "refresh", and
are getting yourself deeper into trouble. If this is the case, then what
you should do is re-examine the underlying issue.
