Attached image Summary File Error.jpg
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Build ID: 20171112125346 Steps to reproduce: T'Bird often reports missing Summary Files when I: 1. Read e-mails and attempt to store them in local files using filters. 2. Infrequently reads e-mails and cannot place them in my Inbox because of missing Summary Files. Actual results: T'Bird reports missing Summary Files. See attached. Sometimes this occurs as a result of downloading messages. When I attempt to read more, the Summary files are missing. Expected results: If T'Bird cannot keep from losing the Summary Files, it should re-create them instead of simply reporting the error to the user.
The is often caused by issues related to network drives. See https://mzl.la/2iZuodh
I am not using a network drive. My tablet has a 1TB SSD which I have partitioned; the executable is on one of the partitions, the T'Bird profile is on another. It also happened when I had the profile on a USB Flash drive. The reason I think it is a bug is because the T'Bird database program should be smart enough to detect the missing Summary File(s) and regenerate the one(s) that it finds are missing. Simply putting up a message reporting it missing and then ignoring the effect that the missing Summary file causes is simply not good programming, in my opinion!
Does it also happen with the beta from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/channel/ ?
