138569 - loop when accessing mail window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 121583

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

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

i installed rc1 and used my old profile. the mail profile was and still is
exported to a directory located remotely (lan). mozilla started just fine, but
as i tried to access the mail app mozilla ended up in a loop (cpu usage 100%;
mozilla allocating memory..). i killed the process, restarted mozilla - the
same. i noticed that the horizontal bar between mail pane and view pane couldnt
be dragged.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start mozilla
2.access mail app


Actual Results:  an endless loop

Expected Results:  no endless loop

workaround: after a few times of restarting mozilla i changed the mail directory
in the left pane (i.e. to "sent"). mozilla suddenly could quit the loop and work
properly. now i CANNOT reproduce the hang anymore.

What does this mean exactly? "i changed the mail directory
in the left pane (i.e. to "sent")" Do you mean you clicked on the sent folder in
the folder pane? Or something else?

exactly - i clicked on the sent folder or one of the other folders in the folder
pane.
