Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001024 Netscape6/6.0 on WinNT 4.0 SP4 Mail got into a state in which I would select a message in the inbox, but I was unable to delete it by any means. Delete key, the delete toolbar icon, and the Edit-->Delete Message menu pick all had no effect. Restarting the browser fixed the problem. I have not been able to come up with a way to reproduce this, but I'm filing to put this problem on radar.
Do you use IMAP? This could've been a server issue (IE dredd).

Reporter, Have you been able to reproduce this problem on recent builds?

I got the same problem today on Mac OS9.1 Mozilla Build 2002100403 I have tried only the delete button. Restarting the browser fixed the problem as reported I use Mozilla since 1.1a. It's the first time i got this I use a pop account. Platform to ALL ?
I've attached my inbox file showing this problem. I am using Mozilla 1.2.1, ie, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130. Clicking the Delete button has no effect at all. Restarting doesn't seem to help.

I guess ekrock is not here any more to discuss whether this bug is still a problem. Jean-Pierre Melkonian, is this bug still an issue for you? Have you upgraded to a more current version of Mozilla? (If still on MacOS9, I guess that limits you to 1.3.) Kent Tong, is this bug still an issue for you? I downloaded your attached files and integrated them into my mail folders with 1.4 and had no problem deleting the file in the inbox.

I'm having this same problem under Mozilla 1.5 (release), running under Windows XP SP 1, IMAP server. Restarting Mozilla solves the problem, then it quickly recurs. I cannot yet figure out a precise way to duplicate this. The behavior did not occur under 1.4 or earlier on my machine.

This is the context in which that bug showed up: Using Thunderbird 0.2 with my NT 4 system did not show the bug. After a hard drive failure, I restored my HDD content from a Ghost 2002 image that did not have Thunderbird on it. I had to reinstall Thunderbird and I tuned it to use the mail folders I had restored from a daily backup (stored in a zip file). That's when the bug showed up for the first time! I installed version 0.3 and the bug is still there. MSL

precision: delete from any folder don't work I can delete about 2 batches of selected messages before the bug shows up. Bug still present in version 0.4 (20031205), I installed yesterday.

Here is a very serious related problem: if I delete messages from the Inbox or from Drafts or from Templates, they disappear from the appropriate 'folder' indication in the Mail window, but the size of the Inbox, Drafts or Template folder in Documents: Mozilla: Profiles: (my profile): Mail does not get any smaller and over a period of time becomes enormous and eats up one's Hard Disk space. I use Mozilla 1.3.1 on a Mac G3 (beige) with OS 9.2.2.

Michael Graubart, that is as expected. You can solve the problem by compacting the folder -- right-click on the folder and select 'Compact', or (with a folder selected) choose File|Compact Folders. See also Preferences|Mail&News|Offline&DiskSpace

I am also experiencing this problem. I get the impression it has something to do with the preview pane and/or opening the message. Before viewing or opening any message, no problems deleting. But after viewing or previewing certain messages, I can't delete messages anymore unless I restart the program. Help/About says: Mozilla 1.6 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040331 I installed this on my 2.6 kernel using Gentoo linux's "emerge" utility.

Forgot to say that I'm using pop, not imap.

I'm experiencing this problem with 1.7b rc1 for OS/2. The problem is intermittent. I have 4 accounts. I may be able to delete several messages from one inbox. Then when I go to another and attempt to delete messages there, the message remains and the preview pane that shows message content without opening the message no longer works in that inbox either. But if I go to another account, I may be able to delete a message there, and the preview pane works. Weird, huh?

I've been having this same problem with all builds up to and including Mozilla 1.8a1. My bug is similar to comment 19. Pressing the delete button works fine on five of my six mailboxes. On the sixth and last (that works) in the list, I find that I can delete the first message after closing and reopening Mozilla. However, I can't delete any emails in boxes after that time. I can manually move messages to any other mailbox folders (Drafts, Templates or Sent) other than Trash. However, once in those folder I cannot delete them there either. I did today try double clicking email in Inbox and getting it to display. Then I did the Shift-Delete. The message was deleted. It does not work when the delete button up at the top of the page is pressed. Once this message is deleted using Shift-Delete I can delete the following messages in the same manner, as long as they are in display mode. But when I return to the Inbox list mode (normal mail screen) I cannot delete highlighted messages. Any ideas?

I haven't seen this with Thunderbird 2.0 - now instead of doing nothing, it sometimes takes a while for the delete to actually take effect.
