🐛 Bugreport

Junk folder not updated

The Junk folder is not refetched when selecting it - I assume this applies to all folders.

My Junk folder is automatically filled by my email server, but when I have fetched the Junk folder once in cypht it is only refreshed when I change the sort order of the folder (and revert that setting).
Logout/Login works aswell.

(I do not know if my email server somehow violates some imap requirement/update mechanic - this is a potential external source for this issue)

Version & Environment

Rev: [v2.4.0]

OS: [chromium, alpine]

Steps to reproduce

Open folder
Move mail into folder on mail server
See no change when navigating to the folder again (including f5)
...
Profit

Please try others to confirm. If you toggle between inbox, junk, draft, etc., it should always refresh

What is your mail server? (Dovecot? Cyrus? etc.)

No, I do an user action. I reselect the mailbox or reload the window. This does not refresh the contents tho.
Changing the sort order forces a query to the server and gives updated results

I will try to capture such network traffic and evaluate if the new messages arrive in the client or not.

@ulfgebhardt, the list of messages for your folder updates whenever a user navigates to that specific folder. However, if there is cached data, it is displayed first. As a result, if the cached data matches the server's response, it may appear as though no request was made to the server.

Navigating to Junk Folder:

Apparently background refresh is happening:

Sending myself a Junk Message:

Receiving spam on server:

No automatic refresh on the page - messages not visible:

Navigate to Mailbox & Back to Junk - messages not visible:

Changing sort oder twice - reveals messages:

Still unclear: Is the folder status not correctly reported by imap (server moves mail via sieve) or is this a caching problem of cypht. Also unclear if the update successfully reaches the client (there is network traffic) or if the updates omit the new message.

I am not subscribed to the folder in question:

The question relevant to your scenario is: when examining the automatic refresh of network data, does your new message appear along with the other data? If it doesn’t, we might need to investigate the sieve filters.

Additionally, does the refresh icon in the top bar, located just before the search input, help you see the new message?

This i can see in my network travel (another test)

{
    "0": "<tr class=\"imap_6738e4f407104_493_4a756e6b email @XXX unseen\" data-uid=\"493\"><td class=\"checkbox_cell\"><input id=\"imap_6738e4f407104_493_4a756e6b\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"imap_6738e4f407104_493_4a756e6b\" /><label class=\"checkbox_label\" for=\"imap_6738e4f407104_493_4a756e6b\"></label></td><td class=\"source\" data-title=\"@XXX-Junk\"><i class=\"bi bi-filetype-env_closed\"></i>@XXX-Junk</td><td class=\"from\" data-title=\"  SOURCE-EMAIL-ADDRESS\">Ulf Gebhardt</td><td class=\"subject\"><div class=\"unseen\"><a title=\" test crypht 1234\" href=\"?page=message&amp;uid=493&amp;list_path=imap_6738e4f407104_4a756e6b&amp;list_parent=imap_6738e4f407104_4a756e6b&amp;list_page=1&amp;sort=arrival&amp;filter=all\"> test crypht 1234</a></div></td><td class=\"msg_date\" title=\"Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:44:56 +0100\">30 seconds<input type=\"hidden\" class=\"msg_timestamp\" value=\"1732225496\" /></td><td class=\"icon\" title=\"\"></td></tr>",
    "1": "imap_6738e4f407104_493_4a756e6b"
}

This is the last element in the list and also the root cause of the problem: The sort order of the mails is incorrect - i can actually see the email, but at the end of the list

...

The problem is not that the message is not displayed - but the new message is wrongly appended onto the end of the list (see screenshot above)

Furthermore - the second last message is displayed as first message.
Hence: (first in network = last in list === last in network = first in list) but when new messages arrive they are appended at the end of the list and not put infront.
