109855 - filter automatically disabled even though the "move to" folder exists

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 115228

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect, P2)

Description

[Jacek Chmiel]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.5+)

BuildID:    20011108

Filter moves messages based on their subject to my folders Local->IT->News.
Problems occur only when filter is about to move message (received from POP3
server) to folder within another folder (nested folder). It reports "folder
doesn't exist" and disables filter!

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create folder with subfolders (Local -> Alpha -> Beta)
2. create filter based on message subject, rule "move to" -> subfolder name
3. wait until Mozilla automatically retrieves new messages from pop3 server and
tries to execute filter

Actual Results:  "Beta folder not found. Filter disabled" 
(message similar to this)

Expected Results:  move message with no problems

This works fine for me unless the Local Folders hierarchy is collapsed on
startup and isn't opened before the filter hits.  Once the Local Folders
hierarchy is opened once in the session, the filter works for me.  Works fine
for me if just the destination folder structure is collapsed on startup, but
account level/Local Folders is expanded.

I agree this has to do with collapsed folders.
