367579 - Blank message status cannot be globally searched for

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 218853

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[p. van de Poll]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

I direct incoming messages to subfolders where possible. Numbers of these are correctly shown in brackets with bold folder name.
In global find (Ctrl-shift-F) I want to see all new, unread messages. Some were not found. Checking revealed that status was blank (in main window scroll list). However, this status is not selectable in find. I noticed that "new" changed into blank practically "under my hands" maybe because new mail had arrived.
So either the bug is getting blank or the non-availability of the search criterium.
Afterthought: it might be that only the messages still in the inbox had their status changed into blank. Cannot be reproduced but by waiting for another such situation.

By the way, find can still be used by reversing the logic to: "status isn't READ and status isn't REPLIED and status isn't FORWARDED and status isn't FLAGGED" but that is for nerds. The messages with blank status appear. I tried that.
