Build ID: 20150629114917

Steps to reproduce:

1. Have some messages in Local Folders
2. Search for them
3. Try to open a search result
4. A found message blanks or gives welcome page (it is from Local Folders)


Actual results:

Cannot open messages from Local Folders returned as search result.

This bug has been affecting me for years, so I have finally decided to report. Usually I just browse to the pin-pointed message by hand.


Expected results:

Messages from local folders should work fine as others do.
Using global search (Ctrl+K), opening local message from global search preview results by clicking the subject line works just fine for me.

odysei, which type of search are you using? Quick filter (ctrl+shift+k), global search (ctrl+k), advanced search (ctrl+shift+f)?

ctrl+k seems to be the broken one.
ctrl+shift+k and ctrl+shift+f work fine.

Tried with all add ons off.
Flags: needinfo?(odysei)

This bug still persists.

Global search (Ctrl+K) doesn't work. The times I've obeserved this bug is when an e-mail is in my archive, i.e. Archive/2021.

To reproduce:

  • search in global search
  • click on a search result to open the e-mail
  • an empty message window is shown

I did remove and rebuild the global-messages-db.sqlite last week.

Severity: normal → S3

Hi there, this bug persists for me on 115.3.1, it didn't on any of the 102 versions. On Windows 10 throughout.

As above, advanced search works, but global search (search bar/ ctrl K) does not. Filtering (ctrl shift K ) does work, but obviously I have to be in the right folder first, which kind of defies the purpose as I have a lot of folders.

Thanks!
