89149 - empty mail message keeps coming back

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

Description

[James Rome]

With 2001062218, on my primary POP3 mail (I have 2 POP3 and 1 IMAP servers),
Whenever I check for new mail, I get a blank message in the inbox dated
12/31/1969 of size 1k.

Because of another reported bug, I cannot delete this, but can move it to trash
in local folders and delete it there. But it keeps coming back! Every time I
check for mail. It doesn't appear in my other POP3 or IMAP accounts. The primary
one is home.com

reassigning to Navin - do you know what could be causing this?

I have never seen this one caused by downloading of new messages. However, I 
have seen Move/copy or undo/redo of move/copy generate empty headers. cc sheela
if she has seen this.

Actually, the empty message appears when I open the inbox. 
If I get rid of it (by moving it to local folders/trash), change to, say the
drafts folder, and then reopen the inbox, there it is again!

Try deleting your inbox.msf file and then restart again, see whether it again
comes back.

I have never seen this before.  And also based on reporters comments below
marking this bug worksforme.  Reopen the bug if this problem is seen again.
