Yeah no idea what thunderbird thinks it is doing. Often have to close the program and restart it (of course this is nothing to do with dovecot - i suspect tb's caching management).

What platform? I use TBird on Windows and it works very well for me, as long as I restart it (TBird, not the computer) once every day or two...

Are you setting any folders to offline mode?


Hi Charles,

Just using TBird on Windows. Not set anything to use offline mode.
Most common misbehaviour types are:

1. Thunderbird thinks that it has already downloaded a message so it doesn't try. You click on a message, it looks like it is downloading, finishes and gives a black message. Click off to another message and then back again and it shows that blank message with no attempt to check the IMAP server.

2. Thunderbird confuses messages. You're reading one message and a new one arrives. You click on the new one and it shows the body you were reading as the body of the new message. Clicking off it and then back again maintains this.

Restarting thunderbird usually fixes the problem. As does 'rebuild index' for that particular folder.

Thunderbird version is latest: 2.0.0.9

Happy to give as much info as you like but probably should take to email as this is a Dovecot list =)

Best wishes,
Daniel
