Description Martin Steigerwald 2014-03-11 11:35:41 UTC 
If I create a new folder in KMail it doesn't appear immediately in the folder list. It only appears after I restart KMail. It appears immediately in Akonadiconsole tough.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new folder say called "aTest" or some such
2. Look at folder list in KMail
Actual Results:  
Folder appears immediately in folder list

Expected Results:  
Folder list doesn't appear until I restart KMail.

MySQL backend is in use. IMAP server is Exchange 2013 cluster.

Comment 1 Christian Mollekopf 2014-04-03 07:49:48 UTC 
With 4.13 it doesn't depend on a restart of kmail anymore, but the remotely created folder still didn't get synchronized by the imap resource on the first try. I'll need to investigate that.
Comment 2 Christian Mollekopf 2014-05-07 15:27:38 UTC 
We need to issue synchronizeCollectionTree regularly. KMail also currently lacks the option to manually refresh the collection tree.
Comment 3 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 20:35:57 UTC 
This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 4 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:50:47 UTC 
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
