User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/14.0.835.202 Safari/535.1
Steps to reproduce:
When reading an email or emails on another device/location, those emails are marked as read on that device and the IMAP server. I am using gmail & an IMAP connection on both Thunderbird and the other device.
Actual results:
When Thunderbird is left open, it sometimes takes 2-3 hours or even longer for Thunderbird to mark those emails as read. I have tried clicking on the "Get Mail" button to refresh the IMAP folder but TB still doesn't mark those emails as read. I have checked to see whether those emails are flagged as read or unread but using the gmail web client and they are indeed being marked as read but Thunderbird will not refresh their read/unread status.
Expected results:
Each time Thunderbird attempts to get mail it should check the status of read and unread emails from the IMAP server and mark those emails as read if applicable. The only way to force TB to refresh the read/unread status is to completely close TB and re-open which is obviously very annoying.
