Hi Michael.

Quick response without having had the opportunity to look into it.

Orca doesn't cache information between events; just for the current
event. In other words, if we get say a focus: event, we'll get the
details for speech, and cache those details for braille. But the very
next event that comes in, regardless of its type, will cause us to dump
that cache. So, for all intents and purposes, Orca doesn't cache

 However libatspi and so pyatspi does cache, and uses events to update
 said cache.
 
information. Therefore, if Orca is reporting outdated information, my
guess would be that Thunderbird is providing us with outdated
information.

 Other possibilities include at-spi2 haveing a bug that allows caches to
 get out of sync, or thunderbird failing to emit an event libatspi
 listens for to update its cache.  I'd be interested to know if this
 issue is present with at-spi1, especially since I don't remember seeing
 this before.

Trev

Creating a simple pyatspi listener in python would be a way to test what
Orca has access to.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
I am using thunderbird 3.3a3 and I have noticed that the tree view 
showing folders can become outdated with orca. Here are some examples:
1. The number of new messages next to a folder is not updated, orca was 
still reporting one new message in my inbox when I had removed all 
messages (IE. the inbox entry read "inbox (1)").
2. I have multiple email accounts on my computer, should I go to the 
first one and collapse it and then expand it again, the first folder is 
still reported as the second email account name.

Does anyone have a clue what might be causing the bug? I am using orca 
3.0.1, at-spi2 (dbus) and as I said thunderbird 3.3a3.
