1315623 - archive function sometimes creates year-based folder even if disabled in options

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Johannes Wienke]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.90 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Selecting one or a few messages and pressing A to archive them. The account is configured to have only a single "Archive" folder. This is a plain IMAP account. No google mail etc.


Actual results:

Most of the time, the mails are put correctly inside "Archive" without a subfolder, but in some cases, a year-based subfolder is created.


Expected results:

There should never be a year-based subfolder if this option is enabled.

This bug exists since several years and only appears on some computers but I cannot find any condition that triggers it.

bug 1162932 reports similar behavior which was a result of different settings between identities.

I can confirm this behavior. It seems to happen seemingly at random.
