Folders intermittently displayed as invalid / non existent #56

Open RealRaven2000 opened 4 years ago

RealRaven2000 commented 4 years ago

Sometimes existing folders we not found or show up as invalid. If they are in a QF tab or folder submenu they can be marked with the "broom" icon in this case: image

It was suggested that this missing of folders is intermittent, so we need to gather data on it. If a folder becomes "invalid" (essentially, the file doesn't exist to QF at least with the current method of checking) during a Session can this lateron be repaired by clicking the "Refresh Visible Tabs" command? image

Are there any other measures (during the session) apart from restarting Thunderbird to rectify this situation?

In case that the issue really is still open:

can this later on be repaired by clicking the "Refresh Visible Tabs" command?

Yes.

Are there any other measures [...] apart from restarting Thunderbird to rectify this situation?

Not that I have found them, and no, not even upon a restart.

(TB 102.6.0, QF 5.15.2, company account on O365, which currently seems to have an IMAP/auth problem as long as TB contacts the servers via IPv6 - set TB's "network.dns.disableIPv6" to "true" for a workaround. Local cache subdir got trashed, broom icons appeared and - after workaround - persisted through TB restarts, though clicking on the tabs took me to the proper folders. "Refresh Visible Tabs" got rid of the icons. Now to recreate tags on e-mails, folders' individual sort orders, calendar integration, ...)

This item is still open, I got pinged by somebody today with this (not sure if it was you):

Wondering if this (Folder tabs all start with Brooms) will ever be fixed. It is quite annoying having to turn QF off and on just to get it to function correctly. Been doing this every day for 6 months now. There has to be a reason why it starts this way for me, don't you think?

(Not me, I had the Invasion by Sweeping Brooms™ just once when O365 had (still has?) a problem with authorization-after-successful-authentication whenever IPv6 was also in play. Then again, my connection to O365 is available both with and without a running VPN (in)to the company, so I don't have any "connection to mailserver might not be immediately available" situation ...)
