I'm seeing an uncaught exception, when trying to delete mail, using imap and having no problem deleting mail on same account on iPhone.
An update - the problem was a missing Trash folder on the server. But ... I don't think TB should have treated it as an Uncaught exception ?
What exception at where? If C++ object is accessed from JavaScript via XPCOM, there is no way to notify error directly, so exception occurs. If the exception is not hooked by try/catch, it's catched at higher level, and is reported as "uncaught exception". It's coding error in some cases, but it may be possible error situation such as "required trash folder is not defined yet". If former, wrong code should be corrected. If latter, code for error handling should be correctly written.
(In reply to WADA from comment #2) > What exception at where? likely in the Error Console I wass seeing uncaught exception 2147746065, but at the time I think it was because I was having trouble dragging messages from Inbox - click+drag would not pick up a message.

Are you also seeing it with version 38 beta from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/channel/ ?

Hi Wayne I'm in India currently - too poor an internet link to download versions and replicate stuff by messing with the server. I haven't seen it since I recreated the Trash folder

I just got it into the Error console. Error: uncaught exception: 2147746065 I was just visiting 2 IMAP accounts. I provided password to only one of them. I just visited the Subscribe window to test another bug. I did not try to delete anything.
Yes - as diagnosed in Comment#1, shouldnt cause an exception in TB though (when some other App allows for Trash folder to be deleted).

Is this different from bug 868041?
Flags: needinfo?(mitra_lists)
yes - completely different. Bug #8680417 seems to be a problem with TB's database or internal memory, i.e. recreating profile and reimporting all Local files makes the problem go away. This bug was a problem, with TB reacting badly to a server complaint about a missing Trash folder.

"Error: uncaught exception: 2147746065" I got the same error when trying to delete 246 image attachments from a single email on thunderbird 38.5.1 on windows 7. This relates to another bug i am encountering where the dialog box asking is it ok to delete "246 attachments" is too long to fit on the screen, so you can't see the "OK/Cancel" dialog buttons"
my email account is gmail/IMAP if that helps
Is this still present in latest Thunderbird version?

I don't know Phoenix, I haven't tried to recreate the problem since reporting it 2 years ago.
