421887 - Custom View Filter does not work properly anymore

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Shimon Pozin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: 20080213

I have previously created custom view called "New and Important" which included all messages with status "New" and Tag "Important". After migrating to the latest version of Thunderbird, the Custom View works incorrectly. It still shows all new messages, but only important messages half a year ago. Besides, even that limited list is also incomplete. Selecting "Important" filter shows correctly all important messages. Deleting and recreating custom view does not help. Creating filter for status "new" only works correctly. It looks like it does not work properly with combination of conditions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select View/Messages/Customize from the menu
2. Create a new filter "Match any of the following" with the following two lines: 
Status is New
Tags is Important
3. Save as "New&Important" and close the dialog
4. Select new filter from View/Messages/Custom Views/New&Important
Actual Results:  
All new messages and some of the important message. Mostly old ones (more than half a year old)

Expected Results:  
List consists of partially new and important messages.

Make sure you have a lot of 'important' messages in the inbox. Not sure if quantity plays any role, but may be.

Reporter you have the same issue also with latest 2.0.0.22 release?
