Still seems to be an issue for me with Gmail. At least I assume this is the same issue. In my case, I filter all emails into folders (or "labels" as Gmail calls them) on the server. So all emails sent directly to *my* email address go to a folder/label called "Me".

== Steps to reproduce ==
1. Open Thunderbird.
2. Open arbitrary email app on phone/other computer. Send email to Gmail account.

== Expected results ==
Within seconds, Thunderbird displays the new mail in the "Me" folder, complete with a notification.

== Actual results ==
<nothing happens>

== Completely manual "workaround" ==
Click the "Me" folder. Thunderbird instantly displays the new message.

I note that even clicking "Get Messages" doesn't pull down the new message. What the heck? Clicking the folder gets a new message from the server but clicking "Get Messages" doesn't?

I have tried what I think is everything from this thread: disabled IDLE and changed max_cached_connections to 1. My CONDSTORE was actually "false" by default (Thunderbird 38.2.0 on OS X) so I left that as-is. I did a complete Exit of Thunderbird and restarted. No difference whatsoever.
