I get this error message from time to time when starting TB; most recently, a
few minutes ago. Clicking on the 'OK" in the error message pop-up does nothing,
but using the "X" will close the error and, eventually, restore my email.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Caused by the simple task of clicking on the TB icon on the Windows TaskBar
QuickStart.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
As stated above, sometimes error message will appear, with no email nor folders
showing. Closing the message will restore TB.

Expected Results:  
Should start properly.

After deleting old Thunderbird profiles and installing a fresh Thunderbird 1.0
(20041206) I get the same error message in my java console after adding an
e-mail account.

Error message: "MsgFolder has no properties"
Source File:  "chrome://messenger/content/msgMail3PaneWindows.js"
Line:  1580

And this is reproducable for me:

1. Uninstall older Thunderbird installations and delete profile directories
2. Install Thunderbird 1.0 (20041206) 
3. Select custom install. 
4. Untick Quality Feedback Agent
5. Add new account and restart Thunderbird.
6. Open Javascript console and the Error appears

No folder nor e-mails will be shown in the left and right pane (default Lay-out)
OS: Windows 2000

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
