I confirm this bug, it affects me too. This existed at least before 3.9.

I use GMail and have a lot of messages in my inbox. The indexing takes several
minutes. Sometimes instead of opening the next unread message (sorry, I didn't
notice if I clicked the folder or just the message) I get the whole inbox
redownloaded and reindexed. This happens without any obvious reason and not
always (about every 10th message or such) and is very annoying. I haven't found
any specific thing that triggers this behavior, but it seems to be more likely
when a lot of new messages appear together.

Some time ago I stopped using claws-mail for a while due to this bug. Now I'm
using claws-mail again. Not sure if this bug still exists as I haven't received
too many emails at these days.

How to reproduce: sorry, I haven't found any easy way yet, so I just describe
what I'm doing on a regular basis. having a GMail inbox of ~30000 messages, let
somebody send you several dozens of emails. Then click on every new message and
answer most of them. It's  very likely that you'll have to wait several times
due to reindexing.

Being a software developer but unfamiliar with claws-mail internals, I could
suspect that it has something to do with GMail IMAP IDs. This error never
occured on a corporate mailbox, only on GMail, so I suspect that this is a bug
in GMail IMAP implementation that triggers a bug in claws-mail.
