Hi folks.  This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to find a clue.

I'm running Dovecot v1.2.9 and Thunderbird v3.1.7.  If I delete

messages using a different IMAP client (I also use an iPhone and occasionally SquirrelMail), I would expect those messages to disappear from Thunderbird the next time I start it or click on "Get Mail". In fact, they do...most of the time. Sometimes, however, they just stick around. If I do a "Repair Folder" on the inbox in Thunderbird, the messages go away.

Is this a known issue?  My gut tells me there's some Thunderbird

option to make it follow inbox contents with more "attention" but I've not been able to find it.

I've also seen it. I've only observed it in INBOX, but I rarely delete mails from other folders, and in those other folders generally there are a lot of messages, so it would be hard for me to notice one that is there but shouldn't.
