(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Nick Grimshaw]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080805 Epiphany/2.22 Firefox/2.0.0.16
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.16 (20080805)

Creating a saved search and including in the search a folder with a name containing a pipe-character crashes Thunderbird when attempting to save the search.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have an IMAP account.
2. Create a folder within that account with a pipe-character in the name e.g. "pipe|folder".
2. Create a new saved search, name it "test", leave the default search-criteria.
3. Select the 'Choose' button to pop-up the 'Select Folder(s)' window, select only "pipe|folder", click 'OK'.
4. Click 'OK' on the 'New Saved Search Folder' window.
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird crashes. The search has not been saved when Thunderbird is restarted.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird should save the saved-search and call it "test"; selecting the folder should carry out the search according to the selected criteria.

This bug is very-probably related to bug 449687 (which was the one I discovered initially, and is slightly more serious).

DUP of Bug 383423, isn't it? (See dependency tree for meta bug 124287)

Yes, this looks like it's the same problem.
