259649 - header only downloaded pop3 messages don't download correctly if filters sent header to different folder

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[David :Bienvenu]

If I set my pop3 server to only download headers only, and mail filters move
downloaded message(s) to another folder, when I go to that folder and select the
message(s) and do a file | offline | download selected, strange things happen. I
usually get two copies of the message, one still marked as not downloaded yet.
The reason is because the messages are downloaded to the inbox, and the filters
are run on them again, and they are filtered to the dest folder again, but the
partial, header only messages aren't deleted, because we look for them in the
inbox. 

Fix upcoming.

pass in the current folder to the pop3 server so that it will download the
messages into the current folder, not the inbox.

It's gonna take Howard a while to try this, so I think I should get it checked
in...
