Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 After startup of Mozilla mail the programm started popping messages from our network. It started w/ 3 emails sent by MS Outlook Express. The beginning 2 emails contained an MS Windows .lnk link file. The 3rd email contained 17 .jpg 5MB in total. While download was in progress I clicked onto the latter email and saw those jpegs indicated in the attachmentlist (content pane). Since that mail was still downoading I read an older mail. After completion of mail download (5 total) I clicked the newest message and recognized the content displayed didn't match the indicated subject in the list of emails. The eMail w/ those jpegs did not indicate attachments anymore but the body contained html mixed w/ base64 encoded blocks. A subfolder indicated 2 new mails but none was visible/reachable in the index. My unix system indicated the receipt of 10 emails. The content firstly mentioned above belonged to an email not indicated in the mozilla list. None of the content of emails received after receipt of the 3 outlook mails did match the list of emails (subject). After deleting the Outlook mails, new mail can be received properly. Old mail is also stored properly. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: on request I will be able to forward any of the suspected problematic emails Expected Results: fix Mozilla mail bug, produce repair tool for mailbox

do you download your mail using pop3? It sounds like the basic problem is that you were clicking around reading new messages while messages were still getting downloaded. Those problems were supposed to have been fixed, but it sounds like they weren't.
