getting Thunderbird rescan imap folder
- by asdmin
Since I got an external program (imapfilter) modifying my imap folder, thunderbird keeps loosing track of new messages. Messages are moved upon arrival in sub-folders, making Thunderbird unable keep tracking them - therefore I have no clue which folders to look for new messages, and newly created folders (even I subscribe them after creation) does not show up until I restart the mail client.
Is there any extension or setting for Thunderbird which I could use to trigger re-scanning my folder tree?
Please don't waste time on advices like
restarting Thunderbird: takes a great amount of time, or
"use Evolution (or any other mail client)", or
use internal mail filters: they are not sophisticated enough or
procmail/fetchmail: I'm arranging a remote imap server for good
EXTENSION 1:
even folders can be created in the background, without Thunderbird would know it has been created.
