Description Lucas Maneos (reporter) 2009-06-20 14:07:10 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
Fremantle beta SDK
modest @ 52d653ba9f85cd4525c9c09ddad020ac19a3b3a9
tinymail @ 3934

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:

1. Ensure modest is configured with two or more IMAP accounts (haven't tested
POP)
2. Start modest from the command line ("run-standalone.sh /usr/local/bin/modest
-s") so it's easier to see what it's doing.
3. When presented with the accounts list, tap on one of the accounts.

EXPECTED OUTCOME:

The selected account's folders are retrieved and displayed.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:

All configured accounts are refreshed (LIST/LSUB, followed by STATUS on each
folder found).  This is wasteful of CPU cycles and network bandwidth, since
when one of the other accounts is selected it's going to be refreshed anyway.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
Always.

Might even be a feature. :-/

Comment 2 Lucas Maneos (reporter) 2010-01-06 14:41:06 UTC

Looks FIXED in 2.2009.51-1, possibly earlier (I don't recall testing multiple
IMAP accounts with 1.2009.41-10 / 1.2009.42-11).

version.
