154835 - Mail filters delete all mail

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[Anton Solovyev]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
BuildID:    2002052918

I have several mail filters defined. My mail server is IMAP MS Exchange box.
When mail filters move several thousand messages all mail gets deleted.

I suspect this happens when move operation on the Exhange server fails due to
insufficient memory. Mail/News in Mozilla is not able to handle this failure
properly.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mail/news window
2. Wait 5 minutes
3. Observe 10 messages instead of 2000 in your inbox.

Actual Results:  ALL MAIL IS LOST

Expected Results:  I expect it not to delete all my mail

The message would have filtered so they may no longer be in Inbox depending upon
your filter actions.

Reporter, are you still experiencing this?
Can you try a newer build?

nonresponse.  Reporter, reopen this bug if you still experience it in recent
builds.  Include more info on the specific filter commands you had set.  Also
comment on whether any other folders were affected besides the Inbox, and any
other relevant info.
