143567 - Unable to read messages from profile with UNC path

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 133153

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Philip Durrant]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1)
Gecko/20020417
BuildID:    2002041711

When reading the mail profile from a path in UNC, the body of messages is not
displayed in either the preview pane or the message window (if a message is
opened). The search function also appears not to be able to search the body.

However, the headers are all displayed, and messages can be filed/deleted/etc.
fine. A new message can be created, but once it is saved you cannot see the body.

This problem does not occur when using locally mapped network drives.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a mail profile and add some messages
2. Change the local directory to a UNC path (e.g. \\server\my disc\email)
3. Exit Mozilla and copy the mailboxes etc to the specified path
4. Load Mail - the messages should now not be visible

Actual Results:  As described, Mozilla was unable to either display or process
the bodies of messages when reading over a UNC path.

Expected Results:  It should have been able to display and process the message
bodies.

mailnews needs to test this separately.

Reporter, could you please retest with a more newer version of mozilla, either
the latest milestone or a recent nightly?

Hi,

I'm seeing this bug with Thunderbird 0.6 on Windows XP. This is definitely still
broken.
