181373 - filters moving mail to a different folder causing some mails to point to different mail than the correct one (Bad pointer?)

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

I have several message filters to move mailing list mails to subfolders so that
it keeps my inbox cleaner.

I recently started having a problem with 1.1 and now 1.2b where, with some of
the moved messages, the mail list will show the correct subject and sender
information, but when I select that mail to read, the preview and the mail view
windows (If I double click) will show a totally different mail than the one I am
trying to look at.  This wrong mail is usually a mail in a totally different
folder, but one that was also moved by the message filters.  

Turning off the message filters and manually moving the messages seems to keep
the integrity of the mail pointer.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Try turning on message filters to move incoming mail from
[e-mail] and [e-mail] (2 high volume
mailing lists) to respective folders such as project-lists/struts-list and
project-lists/tomcat-list, etc.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Mail list entry should point to the correct corresponding mail data

Deleting the .msf files in your mail folders will cause the indeces to be
rebuilt and should fix this problem.
Reporter: Do you still see this problem with a recent build?

Might be a dupe of bug 154628, although there it's suggested an email should
match multiple filters for this to happen.

Eric Weidner: are you still having a problem with this bug?  Have you checked 
whether bug 154628 applied to your situation?  Have you tried a more recent 
build of Mozilla (1.3 or 1.4b/1.4rc)?

I have not noticed the problem return in the latest releases (I'm currently
using 1.4rc1) - eric
