unflagging/flagging message in outlook is not transferred to roundcube

[backi]

If I flag/unflag a message in outlook, the changes were not applied in roundcube.

only if the message was already flagged by roundcube, i can unflag it in outlook and the changes were applied in roundcube.

i hope that wasnt too complicated :-)

dont know if this is a bug of outlook (2007) or of roundcube

Tested with Outlook 2007 SP1 (12.0.6316.5000) and RC svn.

Outlook 2007 sees both kinds of transitions from RC: flagged->unflagged and unflagged->flagged.

RC only sees the first transition of any kind or does not see at all.

If I disable cache, RC sees all transitions.

RC updates the state of the flag only when entering folder. If I click "Check for new messages", the flag state is not updated even with caching disabled.

We need more investigation how Outlook stores flags via IMAP. It looks to me like Outlook reads and displays "foreign" flags but does not set them the same way. Could anybody post some IMAP conversation when flagging/unflagging a message with Outlook?

outlook 2007:

flag:

IMAP	Request: 6767 UID STORE 9534 FLAGS (\Seen \Flagged)
IMAP    Response: * 240 FETCH (UID 9534 FLAGS (\Flagged \Seen))

unflag:

IMAP	Request: a7st UID STORE 9534 FLAGS (\Seen)
IMAP    Response: * 240 FETCH (UID 9534 FLAGS (\Seen))

Flags are set in standard way. As tensor write, flags are not updated only when using "check for new messages". This feature is checking only for existance of new messages not for state (flag/status) changes.

Maybe a caching issue on the Roundcube side? We meanwhile re-implemented the entire caching with better handling for flags. Please recheck with the latest version from SVN.

No, this is still not resolved. \Flagged flag changes are not a subject for check_recent action still.

[vanmeeuwen]

Indeed, this is not resolved yet, for at least \Seen flags that are updated from another client.

The messages unread counter (in the folder list) does appropriately display the new unread count, but the message list still displays individual messages as if they were unread (i.e., in bold).

Reschedule

It is not a simple task, but I'm going to finally work on this for 1.0.
