[Bug 603402]

 

(In reply to Tom Guyette from comment #57)

Do you read about a workaround of "max cached connection=1"?

If shared with iPhone, I believe mail volume, number of mboxes, frequency of new mails, new mail volue, are not so large, 
If so, "max cached connection=1", "disable IDLE", "adequate new mail check intervlal", can be used.
Needless to say, "disabling CONSTORE" is mandatory.
1. Click other than Inbox(call FolderX) -> SELECT FolderX -> Inbox is unselected at only one connection
2. Soner or later, new mail check occurs -> SELECT Inbox -> Inbox is selected at  only one connection -> uid fetch 1:* Flags
3. When you need to snch flsag state with Gmail IMAP and iPhone, click FolderX, then click Inbox
     SELECT FolderX -> SELECT Inbox -> uid fetch 1:* Flags for Inbox is issued.
     As I repeadly staated, workaround explained in this bug is to force this "uid fetch 1:* Flags" for Inbox.

Another way: Use Inbox as mail drop, mail tray. Don't use Inbox as mail repository for log time.
                       Becuase of IMAP many Mboxes are lready supported. There is no need of folder named "Inbox" for mail viewing.

Because Inbox is mbox where new mails arrives, Tb always keeps Inbox "selected state" at a cached connection for Inbox only, and kepp Inbox open.
This is a reason why "uid fetch 1:* Flags" is not issued for Inbox while Tb is running.
If other folder than Inbox and Trash, connection for a FolderX is stolen by other FolderY when other FolderY is opened.
So, "max cached connections = 3 with folder switch of some folders someties" usually forces "uid fetch 1:* Flags" of FolderX, FolderY.

Why no problem in iPhone :
   Because of small/mobile device, connection is not kept for long time, and number of connections is usually one..
   Upon mail reading, login, SELECT Inbox, "uid fetch 1:* Flags" is executed.
