204960 - Sent emails are not being stored at all in the Sent box.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Nicki]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

I'm not sure, but I think this started some time after version 1.1.  Since then,
I have "upgraded" with each release.  I would do a clean install to test this
bug, but there is no way for me to export my passwords, and I have no idea what
file houses them.  (perhaps an export feature would prove useful in a future
release?  I for one would love to see it!)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send an email.
2. Check Sent box.

Actual Results:  
Box is completely empty, actual files in Mozilla directory are 0 bytes.

Expected Results:  
Stored a copy of the email I had sent.

I have a feeling this may have been caused by some sort of conflict between
previous versions when upgrading and helping to test your latest releases.

Reporter, is this still a problem?  Please test in a new build with a clean
profile.  (Create one just for testing, if necessary.)

Also check your current settings in Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings ->
(Account Name) -> Copies & Folders, just to verify that mozilla is set to place
sent messages in the sent folder.

Please report back in this bug.  Also, see http://gemal.dk/mozilla/files.html
for a description of where specific profile data is stored, for help moving
critical data to a new profile.

wfm, inactivity.  Please reopen if this is still reproducible, and include the
build (recent, please) that you tested on.
