User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 Build Identifier: 3.1.6 The new 3.1 brought this about: a) delete in the unified folder sometimes does nothing - but if you go to the actual imap folder the message is tagged for deletion. Return to the unified folder and the tagged-for-deletion but yet-to-be-expunged email either still shows or nowhere to be seen b) undelete function doesnt work in unified sholder Reproducible: Sometimes
1) Let's work on a). What is you imap delete model ? 2) Anything in Tools -> Error console when this happens ? 3) can you file another bug for b)
Summary: erratic delete message functio in unified folder versus actual imap folder → erratic delete message function in unified folder versus actual imap folder

The bug still happens!

perhaps related to Bug 65823 - IMAP: After deleting a message, selection should move to next NON-deleted message, when using "Mark as Deleted"
Unified Folder is internally a Virtual Folder(Saved Search Folder). And, mixture of IMAP folder and local mail folder always happens on Unified Folder(Local Folders account is always involved) when IMAP account is defined. And, delete model of local mail folder is always equivallent to "Move to trash" of IMAP. And, highest "Order Received" column value of local mail folder(offset in mail folder ile) is usually far larger than the value of IMAP folder(UID of mail). So, if delete model of "Just mark it as deleted" is used at an IMAP account, user can usually see phenomenon of Bug 635869 on Unified Folders; Deleted mail in IMAP folder(shown with strike thru line) is shown without strike thru line(as if "not deleted") at Unified or Search folder. xref Bug 635869, confirming
