273224 - "Shall I send Unsend Messages?" locks up client

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Richard Rognlie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I connect to a certificate and SMTP ATUH protected site.

on normal startup, I get prompted for my master password for the Security
Software Device.

last night, I closed my session with an unsent message, apparently.

on startup today, it asked "Do you want to send unsent messages?"   it did not
matter what I entered (yes, or no)  I just got the busy indicator.   It never
prompted me to enter my master password.  I was able to Quit... but that was all.

repeated restarts of the application had the same result.

To work around the problem I has reduced to deleting my "Unsent Messages" folder
completely.   Thankfully it was not an important message.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. compose a message
2. don't send it
3. restart thunderbird

Actual Results:  
thunderbird busy... no messages sent

Expected Results:  
It should have attempted to complete startup...  prompted for my master
password... and THEN attempt to send the messages
