[sylpheed:36342] Incorrect number of new messages

[Till Kolditz]

Dear Hiroyuki,

for only one of the IMAP servers I use, after automatic check of folders,
for any folder with at least one unread
message, the reported number of new messages is always incorrect.

For instance, one folder has a single unread mail which is not new, but
Sylpheed shows 53 new messages. I'm sure I once
saw that the server reports wrong numbers. Currently, the log tells me:

[10:10:16] IMAP4> 32 STATUS *** (MESSAGES RECENT UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN)
[10:10:16] IMAP4< * STATUS *** (MESSAGES 130 RECENT 53 UIDNEXT 2416
UIDVALIDITY 1300305743 UNSEEN 1)
[10:10:16] IMAP4< 32 OK STATUS completed

Running Sylpheed in debug mode shows the following:

[10:10:16] IMAP4> 32 STATUS jExam.support (MESSAGES RECENT UIDNEXT
UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN)
imap_thread_run_proxy (04c2e560): calling thread_func
[10:10:16] IMAP4< * STATUS jExam.support (MESSAGES 130 RECENT 53 UIDNEXT

[10:10:16] IMAP4< 32 OK STATUS completed

UIDVALIDITY 1300305743 UNSEEN 1)
[10:10:16] IMAP4< 32 OK STATUS completed
undo_merge: 0: 390: text: [10:10:16] IMAP4> 32 STATUS *** (MESSAGES RECENT

[10:10:16] IMAP4< * STATUS *** (MESSAGES 130 RECENT 53 UIDNEXT 2416
UIDVALIDITY 1300305743 UNSEEN 1)
[10:10:16] IMAP4< 32 OK STATUS completed

Do you have any idea whether this is a problem with the server or sylpheed?
If it is the server, could you add an option for the account to force check
the actual number of new messages by
sylpheed?


Thanks and best,
Till
