Hi there, I'v encountered that mozilla mail is confused about the number of
unread messages in my junk mail folder. although there is no unread message in
there, it displays "10" in the side navigation bar. Furthermore, the folder only
contains one empty mail that after deleting it re-appears there.
Propably as an side-effect, the junk mail controller doesn't move every marked
message from inbox to junk folder anymore although configuration tells to move
it there. third effect: I lose attachments of non-junk mails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take my mailbox :-)) You will see the problem
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
as described above

Expected Results:  
1. move junk mails correctly to junk folder
2. display correct number of unread messages
3. don't lose attachments

Using win2000 Service Pack 4, German Edition, Mozilla is English Edition

Workaround: Remove the Inbox.msf file before starting Mail Client. Obviously the
client is indexing the inbox file and relies on it without re-indexing. When
deleted, the .msf file will be rebuilt and everything works fine.
