            Bug ID: 3341
           Summary: Sometimes deleted messages don't move out of Inbox
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.11.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Folders/IMAP
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: barry at python.org

I'm using the latest 3.11.1 on Ubuntu 15.04 (vivid) and I'm seeing some weird
behavior with my Inbox.  Occasionally, when I mark a message for deletion (Move
to Trash, Ctrl-D) and then Tools->Execute, the message doesn't actually go
anywhere.  No matter how many times I Execute, the message just stays in my
Inbox folder.  I know it's still there because I can see it in other MUAs that
talk to the same IMAP server.

If I visit a different folder, or a newsgroup, Claws will notice that the
deleted message hasn't been moved to trash and it will prompt me to take this
action, but even if I do, the message doesn't get moved.

However, if I Unmark (U) the message, and then re-delete it, then execute, it
usually gets moved to Trash this time.

It doesn't happen to all messages, and I've yet to recognize the pattern for
which messages do get deleted (the majority) and those that don't (the
minority).  I don't yet have a reproducible test case.

"Move deleted mails to trash and expunge immediately" is set, but I think I've
had this set for forever and Claws still seems to DWIM, namely ctrl-D marks the
message for deletion until I explicitly Execute.  It's certainly worked this
way (without the problem described herein) with 3.10 and for a long while
before that (going back at least to 3.8).
