Package: claws-mail
Version: 3.7.5-1
Severity: important

claws sometimes mixes the contents of different folders.
This happens under the following conditions:

- you have two or more IMAP folders
- one folder is sufficiently large to take several seconds to download

If claws if busy fetching (usually new) messages from a large folder, and:

- you click on another folder while claws is busy, OR
- claws starts the automatic scanning of new mail messages (which will process 
other folders)

the contents of the large folder will be mixed in other folders.

This always happened to me since I've begun using claws more than one year ago,
but since is not *exacly* reproducible I didn't report it before. With
"sometimes mixes up", though, I really mean almost everytime a large folder is
being processed.

What I usually do is discard the folder cache, disable automatic checking of
new messages (otherwise I end-up with the same issue) and restart claws. With a
folder containing at least 1k messages, it is almost *guaranteed* that an
automatic check of new mail will disrupt the folder content.

This is *very* dangerous.
