267239 - Sent mail's are not copied to the specified location.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 221386

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Jens Hofbauer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

Sent mail's are not copied to the specified location. The configured copy 
location is always empty if I enter the account settings. I can choose an new 
location and leave the dialog with "Ok" but the settings about copy (sent 
mails, drafts, templates) are not stored. This bug hit me first time with 
mozilla and now too with firefox (imported the original mozilla settings on 
first startup).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter Tools -> Account Settings
2. Choose Copy & Folders
3. Activate "Place a copy in:" and choose Other -> Local Folders -> Sent
4. Ok
5. Enter Tools -> Account Settings
6. Choose Copy & Folders
7. All former made settings are lost


Actual Results:  
All former made settings are lost

Expected Results:  
Save the settings where I want to store my "sent messages" and than also save 
them.

Currently its impossible to keep an copy of important mails with making an cut 
& paste copy to an text file. If I forget to save them in an text file and 
hit "Send", they are gone forever.
