1238363 - Mail sent from Outbox after startup does not appear in Sent folder

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Graham Tapper]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 20160105164030

Steps to reproduce:

I used Mail Merge to compose a large number of emails.  I used the Send Later option so they were placed in the Outbox folder.  I then used Send all unsent mail.


Actual results:

Due to a problem with the mail gateway at my Broadband Service Provider, not all of the mails were sent.  Some remained in the Outbox.  When the problem was cleared I went back to recommence the send of unsent mails but found the Send Unsent Mail option greyed out, so was unable to send the emails.  I shut Thunderbird down and then restarted it.  As part of the start up of the app I was asked if I wanted to send all unsent mail.  I replied "Yes".  The emails were sent.  However, none of them were listed in the Sent folder.  I checked directly with the mail service using its webmail service and discovered that the emails *had* been sent.


Expected results:

It should have been possible to send the outstanding emails from the Outbox folder *without* having to close the Thunderbird app down and restart it.  The emails sent at the second attempt should have appeared in the Sent folder.
