IMAP Refresh Issues
 
Does anyone else have issues with new mail showing up. I always have to click on a different folder, then back to the inbox folder in order for the messages to show up. I have the refresh set to refresh automatically every 30 seconds but it still does not work. With other mail clients, the message shows up immediately.
 
I can't believe that nobody else is having this problem. Any ideas as to what is wrong?
 
I can't see this particular refresh issue, but I have 3 other IMAP-refresh-issues:

1)
During syncronization the folder with new messages are getting bold.
Sometimes after the syncronization the folders are getting "normal" and the number of unread messages is showed.
(POP-Account folders are working fine)

2)
Deleted items are not marked as "read", although the option "mark deleted messages as read" is enabled.

3)
I configured the folders in that way, that full messages are downloaded.
If you close the client during a syncronization (closes normal with no error message or something else) and start the client again all messages are downloaded from the beginning (also these, which have already been downloaded).
 
Some bugs related to IMAP folders appearing empty under various circumstances have already been reported in the Bugtracking system ( ritlabs.com/bt ).

IDs of similar bugs:
0004442
0004185

Bugs like this have been around for quite some time now, but sadly, no one seems to care...
 
Is there any fix to the problem: refreshing IMAP folder resulting empty folder?

Thanks.

Yes, I have that problem! Nothing seems to help: resynchronize, refresh. The ONLY thing that works is exiting The Bat and restarting it, and I can't even count on that 100% of the time.

It irks me to no end that there are free IMAP clients out there (Thunderbird's, for one) THAT JUST SIMPLY WORK. It irks me to no end that I actually PAID FOR THIS PIECE OF CRAP!

Well, yes, that was several tads over the top. I do apologize. Bad hair day; whutever.

What I have DISCOVERED is the command "Get New Mail." I never tried it cuz I believed -- silly me -- that such a command made no sense outside of a POP context. But it does seem to force a reread of the IMAP dirs, and for that all I can say is PTL and pass the ammo!
