265287 - moving folder from Outlook imported folders/subfolder to Local folders/subfolder while downloading a new POP mail freezes Thunderbird

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Dubravko Radiæ]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 0.8 (20040913)

Your Intention: To maintenance-sort your mails.

Situation overview:
So you had made subfolders e.g. Business Tasks/Translations in previously 
imported Outlook 2003 mail named as above.
  As you had set up Thunderbird 0.8 b(20040913) to check mail automatically 
after you open it,and as you are online,it downloads mail from your two web 
accounts while you are rearranging your folders from Local Folders/Outlook 
Mail/... to (Thunderbird native)Local Folders/... 
(e.g. 
Local Folders/Outlook Mail/Inbox/Business Tasks/Translations to 
Local Folders/Drafts/Business Tasks/

while drag-dropping from-to these expanded folders AND while Thunderbird is 
downloading pop3 mail in background - it freezes.

That's all folks.

also,while at it..I tried to rename WEb_design folder to Web_design and it 
throws an Alert "this folder already exists".(Stupid,I know)



Try to drag-drop move folder from the expanded 
outlook_imported_folder/subfolder to
Local folders/subfolder.

It just freezes.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up TB0.8 to auto download pop3 mail from your multiple accounts
2.close it-open it while you are online to get it to start downloading
3.drag-drop subfolder from Outlook Mail/Inbox/[sourceFolder] to Local 
Folders/Drafts/[destinationFolder]. It should freeze,stopping 
pop3download,throwing up an alert that cannot be OK'ed as the app has freezed. 

Actual Results:  
It freezed. Also,I killed it and re-opened it.


Expected Results:  
Performing Drag/drop operations while downloading gracefully.

Now I'll see if it has double-downloaded the half of mails before 
freezing.Please build a detection of double-downloading ,double 
filtering ,double drag-dropping as in filesystem, as we people with huge mail 
archives waste enormous amount of time removing "doubles/ghosts" of a mail 
message "files/objects"

Attachment: drag-dropping folder WEb_design from Local Folders/Outlook Mail/Business Tasks/... to Local Folders/Drafts/Business Tasks while downloading pop3 in background caused Thunderbird 0.8 to freeze

A screen capture upon freeze,it should help.

Drag-dropping folder WEb_design from Local Folders/Outlook Mail/Business
Tasks/... to Local Folders/Drafts/Business Tasks  while downloading pop3 in
background caused Thunderbird 0.8 to freeze.
 Also potentionally important thing is that this folder had filter rule
enabled.
My guess is that while downloading TB couldn't find it anymore, so it has
freezed...let me check if it exists now as I reopened it...YES! THIS IS THE
SOLUTION. Sorry about being so much on_the_fly reporting but I have to deal
with it this way.

Also noted: bug2: WEb_Design cannot be renamed to Web_Design as TB pops out an
Alert "this folder already exists" (I know,TB,just do it...but no)

Also, a FEATURE REQ-that one is a REAL Outlook2003 KILLER: ...in my separate
post under [e-mail] Cheers,man. :)
