--- Comment #11 from linux+clawsbugtracker at jcf.pm ---
I am also seeing this problem in recent versions of claws, including 3.11.1 on
ubuntu trusty installed from the ppa.

This problem is NOT limited to gmail, as this happens with a completely
unrelated imap server for me. Furthermore, the relevant inbox is accessed from
a single claws-mail install only, and not used by any other means (i.e. webmail
or mobile phone) yet the bug still happens.

Other than that, I can confirm most of what is said in prior messages, esp. #6.
The bug seems to be triggered when receiving messages that are moved into a
subdir by a filtering rule. It is irrelevant whether or not the filtering rule
also marks the message as read.

Everything appears normal in the summary view at first glance, but upon opening
any email the message body displayed may be (a copy of) a different message not
matching the subject/sender as visible in the summary view. Opening the 'source
view' for an affected email displays the actual subject/sender/etc matching the
initially displayed message body.

Not all messages are broken, but it happens often enough for daily problems
even on a moderate amount of traffic (e.g. debian mentors mailing list).
Discarding the folder cache indeed works as a (temporary, and slow) workaround,
at least until the next round of new mail arrives.
