Mozilla is set up on a PC on a LAN. My preferences stored on my C: drive. If I
disconnect myself from the LAN, then start Mozilla, Email/Newsgroups reindexes
all of my mailboxes, then corrupts my Junk mailbox; the browser loses all of my
cookies and all of my visited links. Email mailboxes are intact, except for
Junk. Browser history bar is intact. All other settings seem to remain intact.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move some email to Junk, visit some websites.
2. Disconnect from network, start Mozilla.
3. Junk mailbox corrupted, visited links don't show, cookies are gone.



Expected Results:  
It should have done nothing different.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
