After that all the information filed for all news groups from this server selected for offline reading has been erased by Thunderbird without any notification. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select some news groups for offline reading 2. Download gigabytes of vital information from them 3. Change the server address, e.g. from symbolic form (say, news.domain.com) to its IP address Actual Results: All the downloaded information is erased, msf files are erased. Expected Results: Information is kept alive, or at least, erasing must be confirmed before it is done
