155479 - Compacting folders duplicates messages, corrupting folders

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 150716

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Joel Nelson (don't send email)]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.2; Mac_PowerPC)
BuildID:    2002061014 (1.1a)

Twice I have encountered problems when compacting mail folders.   After the 
compacting is complete, I find most or all of the messages in my inbox are duplicated, 
with one message normal and the duplicate blank.   I have also seen where two 
messages get combined into one.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Allow Mozilla to compact new folders (as specified in preferences)
2.  After compacting is complete, messages are duplicated.
3.

Actual Results:  Folder corruption -- nearly every message duplicated.

Expected Results:  Folders should have compacted without causing corruption.

-> Navin - I thought this had been fixed (the general problem with compacting
folders and other multiple message operations), but I believe the fix was in
before 6/10 (though I could be wrong). Note this is on the mac, which might have
special problems.

Joel, was the affected account POP or IMAP? How far apart were the two
occurrences? Did they occur using different builds?

From other bug

yes, this does look like compact folder bug 150716. from www.mozilla.org/roadmap
1.1 alpha was branched on 07-Jun-2002 and released on 11-Jun-2002. Bug 150716
was fixed on 6/14 builds and it was broken on trunk 5/31 so looks like that compact 
folder fix missed 1.1alpha release. 

marking dup of bug 150716. Please don't use 1.1 alpha builds
