[Martin Rudolph]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514

I cannot move multiple messages from the Server "Sent" folder to my local "Sent"
folder.
Single message - works
2 or more messages - nothing happens

Tried a different mail folder - single _and_ multiple messages work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have IMAP configured with "Sent" on IMAP Server and produce 2-3 sent messages
   in "Sent" folder
2. set up local "Sent" folder
3. Configure Mozilla to use local "Sent"
4. Highlight 2 or more messages
5. Right click and "move to" local sent
6. Nada ;-)

Actual Results:  
Nothing - no eroor message - no crash

Expected Results:  
It should have moved the messages to the local folder.
Remember - it's working with a single mail



Cheers,

Do you use 1.7 branch build or trunk nightly build?
If trunk build and your local Sent folder is defined on a drive different from
profilre directry's drive, your problem is probably dup of Bug 242579.
> Bug 242579
>  Multiple mail copy/move hangs when drive of mail directry is different from
>  one for profile directry (bug 242970 also occurs).
>  This causes hang of Junk move/Junk purge and multiple mail delete. 
See also bug 242970

>  Bug 241708 has broken Mail&News when mail directry on different drive from

If dup, use trunk build of 2004-05-21 or after, or 2004-04-28 build or before.
Please note that 1.8a1 release build(2004/05/20 build) has the problem but
fixing patch is not included in it.

I'm using the 1.7 build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514

And no - it doesn't refer to the quoted bugs because:
Moving multiple mails from folders other than "Sent" works nicely,
_but_ moving multiple mail from "Sent" (Server) to "Sent" (local folder)
simply does nothing.
In bug 242970 the mail count in the target folder increases - in my case
simply nothing happens
And Bug 241708 I can't really understand (shame...) but it seems to require
some browser action, which is not applicable in my case.

Martin

Moving multiple mails from "Sent" (Server) to other than "Sent" (local folder)
works well?
Are there any settings related to local "Sent" folder, for example "Copies &
Folders"?
If copying to local "My-Sent-Mails" folder works well but copying to local
"Sent" folder has problem, problem is related to target folder.
But if both have problem, IMAP server related problem.
In this case, protocol log is usually required to analyze problem for developers.
See http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/mail-troubleshoot.html#imap and
attach protocol log.
