Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[lethin2002]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Messages sent while Mozilla is in the offline state don't seem to make it into 
the Unsent Messages folder for later sending.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set status to offline (click plug in lower right corner)
2. Compose message to anyone (such as yourself)
3. Hit send.

Actual Results:  
Message doesn't appear in Unsent Messages

Expected Results:  
Should be queued in the Unsent Messages folder.  When you connect to
the Internet later, it should prompt for sending the message.

This is an important feature for traveling laptop users like myself (e.g., have
lost the ability to work on correspondence while on a plane).

This bug exists in version 1.3b as well.

Reporter (lethin2000): is this bug still an issue for you?

Note that the 'unsent messages' folder was moved to Local Folders, rather than 
existing under each account.
