161094 - received mail not stored local if there is no harddisk space, so the mail is gone

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722
BuildID:    2002072204

If there is no space on my harddisk left, the mozilla-mail cannot store the
received mail and the mail is gone. So, the problem is, after receiving the mail
by pop, the mail will be deleted on the mail-server although the mail is not
stored locally on my Computer because of no space on disc. mozilla-mail should
only delete the mail on server after it has checked that the mail could really
be stored on my computer.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.make your harddisk full
2.receive mail by pop


Actual Results:  
- the mail will be received but not stored
- on restarting the mozilla-mail the message is forever gone

Expected Results:  
- the mail should be deleted on pop-server after the mozilla-mail has checked
that the mail is really be stored on my computer

Right. I think the bug was 155281.
Reporter,
Are you using any filters to move the message to an inbox when you receive it?

[Sheela Ravindran]

sorry for the typo.
What I meant is, are you filtering messages to a local folder when you receive
it to your inbox?

Checked this on WinME on 2002-08-02-08 branch build.  We showed a dialog warning
the user of low disk space. We do not download the message in that scenario.  
However I have not checked this on the linux box.

I just got the same problem with 1.3 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312)

This is causing data loss, please could you increase the severity? It should be
at least "MAJOR" if not higher.

I would confirm, but I'm not allowed to :(

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
