235122 - Multi Accounts: filters t move messages sometimes fails

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 168648

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[C. Sid Cara]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 (20040207)

Win XP, TB 0.5, 1 "main account", 3 others accounts + Local Folders, xpi "get 
all messages". For all accounts checked "get new messages". All accounts are 
pop. TB french version.

I have created filters for the 3 accounts (for each account all incoming 
messages are moved to Inbox of "main account"). 
Sometimes (about 1/4) the filters doesn't work and I have the error 
message "Messages Can't be filtered to Inbox folder, another work in progress" 
or something like that.
The french message "Les messages ne peuvent être filtrés vers le 
dossier 'courier entrant' car une autre opération est en cours". 
In these cases the incoming messages are not moved and stay in the Inbox of 
their respective accounts. 
I think, but I'm not sure, that happens when I have many incomming messages 
in "main account". Typically : 60 messages incoming for "main account" and 3 
or 4 incoming messages for each other account at the same time.


Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create 1 main account, 3 others accounts. All pop3
2.for each other account create a rule : all incoming messages are moved to 
Inbox of main account.
3.for each account server settings are checked : check for new messages at 
startup, check for new messages every 20 minutes, Automatically download new 
messages
4.Start TB, if you receive many messages for "main folder" (70 for example) 
and 3 or 4 messages for each other folder at the same time, the problem occurs.

Actual Results:  
Error Box with message "Messages Can't be filtered to Inbox folder, another 
work in progress" or something like that.
In these cases the incoming messages are not moved and stay in the Inbox of 
their respective accounts.

Expected Results:  
The filters have to work well in any circumstance.
