When I browse in larger mailinglists and TB is busy with fetching a mailbody from
my imap server and click on the next mail, tb changes the focus to the new mail,
finishes the "old fetch" and displays the new mail as empty mail. (Doesn't start to
fetch it) When I switch between mails to let tb fetch the body for the new mail, it
doesn't work. this mail seems to be marked as "body fetched" or something like
that. The only chance to get it is to delete the cache for this folder to force TB
to read all mails in it again. (Well maybe I could edit the file, but I'm too lazy
to browse through it and I don't know the syntax...)

Do you still encounter this problem with the latest tbird ?? 0.8-2 ?

Yes.

If this helps, the problem occurs on dovecot and cyrus imap servers. (I
switched recently)

Hi,

you receive this mail because you submitted a bug report
to the mozilla-thunderbird package.

If you already received this message, because you had an important
bug open, just ignore it.

Mozilla Thunderbird is quiet popular and thus has lots of bugs open.
Verifying one by one with each release on my own would be a really
hard task, so I heavily depend on the testing and quality feedback
of the package users.

As you might have noticed Thunderbird 0.9 has been released about a
week ago. Finally I have uploaded a package for that version to my
preview and backports repository. The apt lines can be found at [1].

In addition to testing the upgrade path I ask you for help to verify
if your bug is still present. So please take a minute or two and
install the preview package to look if everything is fine and if your
bug is still present. The preview package is currently build for
sarge, so if you encounter any problems installing them in unstable,
let me know! I might build another version for the current sid too!

And remember, please drop a note to your bug report mentioning the
outcome of your test.

Note: If you encounter any new bugs or upgrade bugs in the new
package, please don't post them to the debian BTS by now, since I
will try to fix as many as possible before I upload it to the debian
archives. Just send them to me with the subject line starting with
'[previewbug]'.

Thanks for all your help testing and improving and actually caring
for this package.

Cheers,

Alexander
