[Bug 1851124] Re: sort = mailbox-order not unsorted

[David Seppi]

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu version: 19.04
  Mutt version: 1.10.1-2
  
  I use mutt to read mails from an IMAP server.
  
  My .muttrc contains two lines that I assume to be relevant for this bug:
  
  set header_cache = '~/.muttcache'
  set sort = mailbox_order
  
  Expected behaviour:
  
  My mailbox should be unsorted (i.e. all messages appear in the same
  order as provided by the IMAP fetch 1:* command).
  
  Observed behaviour:
  
  Messages that are already cached (part of the header cache file) are
- sorted in the following way:
+ sorted in two groups:
  
  1. all messages without the Deleted flag
  2. all messages with the Deleted flag
  
  New messages (not part of the cache file) appear at the bottom (after
  the deleted messages), so there's a block of deleted messages between
  the last cached not deleted message and the first new message.
  
- When I delete the header cache file (or disable header caching)
- everything works as expected (mails are unsorted).
+ When I delete the header cache file (or disable header caching) before
+ starting mutt everything works as expected (mails are unsorted).

Bug description:
  Ubuntu version: 19.04
  Mutt version: 1.10.1-2

  I use mutt to read mails from an IMAP server.

  My .muttrc contains two lines that I assume to be relevant for this
  bug:

  set header_cache = '~/.muttcache'
  set sort = mailbox_order

  Expected behaviour:

  My mailbox should be unsorted (i.e. all messages appear in the same
  order as provided by the IMAP fetch 1:* command).

  Observed behaviour:

  Messages that are already cached (part of the header cache file) are
  sorted in two groups:

  1. all messages without the Deleted flag
  2. all messages with the Deleted flag

  New messages (not part of the cache file) appear at the bottom (after
  the deleted messages), so there's a block of deleted messages between
  the last cached not deleted message and the first new message.

  When I delete the header cache file (or disable header caching) before
  starting mutt everything works as expected (mails are unsorted).
