[Roman Barczynski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041103)

Recently I've switched to use global inbox feature in Thunderbird.

Sometimes (for me it's 3rd case for about 100 messages sent) when
message is sent (I've checked on my SMTP server logs - mail is sent)
it's not stored in "Sent" folder of Local folders - it simply dissapears.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have account switched to Global inbox
2. Compose new message
3. Press "send" button and switch to main window of Thunderbird
4. Browse/read/compose other messages while Thunderbird still sending first
message in background
5. Notice short blink of compose window from step 2

Actual Results:  
SOMETIMES (3/100) Message does not appear in "Sent" folder.

Expected Results:  
Message shoud be saved in "Sent" folder.

After some more testing I have update of reproduce procedure which gives
allways unwanted effect:

Reproducible: ALWAYS!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have account switched to Global inbox
2. Have multiple identities for any account added
3. Compose new message
4. In compose window choose in From field addres that is IDENTITY (not real account)
5. Press "Send" button

Actual Results:  
Message does not appear in "Sent" folder.

Expected Results:  
Message _shoud be saved_ in "Sent" folder.

please try today's build - do tools | account settings| manage identities - make
sure your identities all have a sent mail folder specified.

Yes. Version 0.9+ (20041112) works fine after changing on each identity
"copies & folders" settings.

Still, Does this change should not be done automatically after switching to
global inbox? Maybe it is in version 20041112?
