Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

Description

[Stephan Bucher]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040117
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040117

Using the "send later" command makes the message disappear completely. It is not
in any of the folders.
This happens online using the "send later" menu command and offline using the
"Send later" button.
This works in the 1.6 Windows version (on W98/2). I am almost sure it used to
work in earlier OS/2 Mozilla versions. It certainly worked in NS 4.61.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose message.
2.Select "File" "Send later"
3.

Actual Results:  
The message disappeared from this world.

Expected Results:  
The message should have been moved to the "Unsent Messages" folfer.

This may be related to the very old bug 90953.

Do you have an unsent messages folder? Is it just the case that send later
doesn't put the message there? Have you checked your local folders account? Do
you have a pref in prefs.js that refers to the sendlateruri?

My PREFS.JS file does not contain the strings "send" or "later". I created this
account from scratch this morning and then copied the mail files (including
"Unsent Messages") over from my old account that had become unusable after a crash.
I have now created a new account called test - and no folder "Unsent Messages"
was created in the process. The problem thus seems to be here, and the bug
should maybe be renamed to "No Unsent Messages folder is being created with new
account".

Works in OS/2 trunk 2004012208 just the way I remember. The Unsent Messages
folder is in the Local Folders "account", not the email account.

Are you checking both your unsent message folders?

Comment 7

[Stephan Bucher]

Felix is perfectly right The Unsent Messages folder is in Local Folders and
contains all my unsent test messages. And I see now that this behaviour is
described in help.
Turn it the Microsoft way: "It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

Marking this (stupid) "feature" WFM per comment 7.
