265533 - Crash when saving a Virtual Folder as a subfolder

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Seen using today's nightly, version 0.8 (20041021) and IMAP.

STR:

1. Go to File | New | Saved Search
2. Name your Virtual Folder.
3. Select one of your IMAP folders as a subfolder. Click OK.
4. I get an error dialog that says something like 'That folder already exists" 
5. I cursor back to the dropdown to change the location to my primary mail account.
6. Crash

Talkback:

unfortunately there are no talkback symbols for the Mac in todays build so I
can't get a stack trace.

Am seeing this as well with similar steps but by using a POP3 account with
Global folders.  I'll try it again once we get a build with talkback.

we still aren't getting any talkback symbols in todays builds either.

looks like talkback symbols are working again in case someone triggers this
crash again.

Not able to reproduce now on the Mac using version 0.8+ (20041101). I believe
when I crashed I might have been selecting "Inbox" - now I see that it is greyed
out and not selectable. If I selected my primary account as the "parent", it
eventually does create the Virtual Folder under my main account.

Checking this under Windows -- I tried saving the "People I Know" MailView as a 
subfolder of a subfolder with its default name:
  Inbox/sub/Inbox-People I Know

The folder appeared, but came up empty (unlike the view itself).  When I tried 
to delete it, using the <del> key, there was no response.  I then right-clicked 
it and selected Delete, got a confirmation dialog, said Yes, but the folder 
continued to show in the tree.

On restarting Mozilla, it was gone.

TB 0.9, Win2K.
