[imp] Horde cache problem

[Jochen Roderburg]

Hello everybody,

So far I am pretty successful with my Webmail tuning program, but  
there is one point that is making me headaches, the Horde cache.

When I have a running webmail session with activated Horde cache and  
another mail program is changing something on the mail server, the  
changes are not reflected on the webmail side.

I can well imagine, that this is a side effect of the caching, but is  
this really the intended correct behaviour? It think this will create  
big confusion among those users who are using several mail clients and  
many difficult questions for our support people.

Or are we just bitten by a fundamental bug in the system?

Jan Schneider recently mentioned in another thread:
>> And you might try Horde 3.3.9-cvs which has a cache bug fixed.

I have downloaded a daily Horde snapshot and found in the CHANGES file:
>> Fix bug in Horde_Cache that would prevent cache entries from being
>> expired in certain cases, and prevent cache key collisions.

Could this have to do something with my observations?
I cannot find further information about this corrected bug on bugs.horde.org.
