Having had many problems in the past with IDLE not working, new messages not being seen from Thunderbird, and sometimes garbage seen as part of mailboxes, I eventually added some workaround/sanity check patch to the imap_sync_deinit code to reread the offsets from the index and that solved the problem.

Now with beta7 (I've previously used beta2), this seems not to be necessary anymore. I installed vanilla beta7 and couldn't reproduce the problem in any way!

I'm not sure what has changed there, and haven't yet checked if I see anything relevant, so this is just to let you know, and ask - any idea which change could have caused this.

Happily I will soon be going on with working around other issues I have here, and start bugging you in the list again.

Cheers, -- Tom
