209913 - The messages are copied multiple times after restarting Mozilla Mail and deleting all file in C:\temp directory.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

Description

[Johan Guihéneuf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; fr-FR; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; fr-FR; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425

I first tried to compact the folders but an error message appeared, wich told me
that there was not enough space to compact all the folders. Indeed, my C:
partition, containing the system files was full. I stopped all the running
programs. I emptied the folded C:\temp. And I start Mozilla, then the messages
in my inbox folder were in multiple exemplaries. So the number of messages in
Inbox passes from about 100 to more than 700. If I stop and start Mozilla Mail,
the messages are still here.
One of the messages is the true one and the others are empty messages with only
the same subject, date and time than the true one.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fill "system" disk
2. Stop Mozilla
3. Empty %temp% folder
4. start Mozilla Mail

Actual Results:  
there are ghost messages in the inbox folder, with same subject, date and time
than the real messages, but they have an empty body.

Expected Results:  
No "copy" of the messages.

The problem happens when I compact the local folders.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Mozilla 1.3.1 FR. The list of messages in inbox
was normal after.
