Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

Description

[Bill Lee]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722

Downloading e-mail, POP account. Simultaneously viewing, moving, responding to
messages in Inbox. Incoming process aborted (no indication other than no ore
messages appeared, but still some on mail server). Examinded Inbox file using
'ls' and its size was zero. Inbox.msf still of reasonable size. Inbox appeared
to have messages when viewed in Mozilla mail but obviously nothing was there.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Not reproducible in any sensible manner

2. I have done just what I described on numerous occasions previously with no
ill effects
3.

Actual Results:  
Looks to me (25 years of programming multi-threaded applications) that there is
a task synchronization/locking problem.

Expected Results:  
Obviously, not to null out the Inbox file!

I think you need to use a newer build because I believe Navin has already fixed
this. Yes, indeed, using a synchronization/lock was the fix. -> Navin for dupping.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.
