269916 - forced index rebuild

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 81141

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[richlv]

User-Agent:       Opera/7.54 (X11; Linux i686; U)  [en]
Build Identifier: 0.9 (20041103)

there should be an ability to rebuild index on demand for specific folder/all 
folders.

sometimes index files become corrupt (usually if there is not enough diskspace) 
- there is shown a specific unread message count that is not updated. re-opening 
thunderbird doesn't help. removing that file so that a new one is generated 
helps.

actually, a better recovery from damaged index files (from lack of the 
diskspace) would be good :)

this also applies to mailnews.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
umm. try receiving mail in different folders when there is no free diskspace. 
this probably happens when mail itself can be written successfully, but 
subsequent index updating fails.

yep, seems so. wrong search string chosen - again...
(i hope that closing it this way is the right thing to do)
