I use a custom view to view emails I've received within the last five days.
The view excludes certain folders, such as Sent Mail, Junk, Deleted
Messages, etc. All of my messages come in to my IMAP INBOX, and are then
moved into other IMAP mailboxes using simple rules.
For some reason I can't figure out, the Custom View window gets updated
right away when new messages come in and get moved to certain mailboxes, yet
does not get updated when messages come in and is moved to certain other
mailboxes. Until, that is, I go to the main mail viewing window and click a
mailbox to refresh the message list. Then the custom view window gets
updated. Obviously the first behavior is more desirable.
Would some knowledgeable MVP please explain what governs custom view
updating for IMAP mail? Why might messages in some mailboxes update the
custom view window, while others do not?
