Move message to folder also expunges messages marked as deleted

[rcubetrac]

Reported by r on 21 Apr 2008 21:21 UTC as Trac ticket #1485002

Steps to reproduce:

1. In main.inc.php set $rcmail_config[= TRUE;[BR]

2. In main.inc.php set $rcmail_config[= '';[BR]

3. Log into RC, open any folder and mark a message to be deleted[Drag (move) a message from the same folder above into any other folder[[BR]([BR]]

4))]

At this point, a few things happen:

1. The message marked as deleted in step 3 was actually expunged from the IMAP server during the move operation in step 4, but still appears in the message list[Clicking on "Compact" to get rid of the "phantom" message marked as deleted in step 3 fails to remove it from the message list[[BR]([BR]]

2))]

3. Clicking on the message marked as deleted in step 3 results in a "Could not load message from server" error, because it no longer actually exists on the server[[BR]]

To recover from this condition, one must click on a folder, click on the "E-mail" icon in the upper-right toolbar, or reload the page.

I believe that when 'flag_for_deletion' is set in the config file, the behavior of moving messages from one folder to another should mimic the behavior of marking messages for deletion - that is, copy the message to the new folder, but only mark the message in the original folder as deleted. Thus there is no "surprise" expunge during a message move which tramples messages already marked for deletion by the user, and avoids the resulting UI weirdness.

Err... you want to delete a message and then move it to another folder?

Maybe you should move it and be done with it?

Sorry I wasn't clearer. The message in step 3 and the message in step 4 are different messages. For example, if I mark message #1 for deletion, and then move message #2 to a different folder, both message #1 and message #2 are expunged from the IMAP server during the move operation. Message #1 however is not removed from RoundCube's message list, while message #2 is. Subsequent attempts to remove message #1 from the message list by "Compact"ing the folder fail. The main problem is that after a move operation, RoundCube's message list does not reflect the fact that messages marked for deletion prior to the move operation were expunged along with the moved message. Should I provide screenshots?
