Details
I used to have my folder for sent mail be a folder called "sent-mail" (what Pine uses) and my folder for drafts be "postponed-messages", both in the "Mail" subdirectory of my IMAP root directory. (I set this up under Netscape 4.6) (If you're confused, ask anyone familiar with Pine. These are the names of the default Pine folders for sent and postponed messages) I had noticed that if I tried setting these preferences on another computer with Netscape 4.7, it would not keep those folders as the preferences but would instead change the folder to "Sent" and "Drafts" in the root directory (the Netscape default). Some time ago, I upgraded to 4.7, and it kept my preferences. Today, my Messenger crashed and it couldn't recognize my inbox (it said "???" for number of messages and unread messages.) When I restarted my computer, it recognized my inbox, but when I sent a message, I realized that it was not saving it in the right place. I looked at the preferences, and the "Copies and Folders" preferences had been reset. So I tried changing it to what it should be. But when I tied sending a message, it said that it could not save the message into my "sent-mail" folder because "the folder already exists". Then, when I looked again at the preferences to change my postponed messages folder back to what it should have been, it wouldn't keep my selection after I"d hit "OK". Instead, it would choose the folders "Sent" and "Drafts", and then I'd change it back to "sent-mail" and "postponed-messages" and hit "OK" and then I'd check again, and it wouldn't have kept it again, so I"d try again, and it would fail, etc. The point is that this was not a problem with Netscape 4.6, and the only reason it was working in 4.7 was because it kept the settings from 4.6 for the profile. But I couldn't set my fodlers as I wasnted in eiterh other profiles or on other computers, so this is definitely a problem introduced in Netscape 4.7. Thanks! (I did a search for this bug but couldn't come up with anything, so that's why I"m sending it in) Enjoy the rest of the weekend! — Harpaul

Sounds like problems from 4.6 to 4.7. Marking invalid for mozilla.
