217650 - Total Message count becomes incorrect

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 217260

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827

Over time (perhaps due to crashes), the Total Message count in the folder tree view for folders becomes incorrect.  For example, in one folder, it's empty, but the count is 1.  Another folder has 3 items in it, but the count is 5.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look at total message count in folder tree view
2. count messages in that folder
3. compare numbers

Actual Results:  
Total message number can be different than the actual number of messages in the folder

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should report the correct number of total messages in each folder

By creating a new profile this problem goes away, but comes back after "whatever causes this" occurs again.

Yes, using IMAP (sunOne - this didn't happen before moving to SunONE)
No, "Compact this folder" does not change the count.
