Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Jeeva]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

If a "Save Search as Folder" (VFolder) is deleted, the old VFolder name cannot
be again.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save a search view as "xyz" under "Local Folders" as parent
2. Delete xyz 
3. Select some other search view (otherwise you it won't let you save again,
perhaps not bug).
4. Select the original view (if you select the default folder name) or else keep
the current view.
5. Save Folder with the same name (xyz) under "Local Folders" as parent.

Actual Results:  
It fails with the following Alert
  "A folder with that name already exists. Please enter a different name"

Expected Results:  
It should allow to save the search with same VFolder name as the VFolder was
deleted.

I can delete VFolder with "Delete" Key on both release 0.9 and nightly build
20041111. And there was no warning at all.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
