273246 - IMAP folder content disappeared after installing new version

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Andreas Schöneck]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0 RC1

After having installed Thunderbird 1.0RC1 over Thunderbird 0.9 (both deDE) the
content of my e-Mail-account-IMAP-folder disappeared (ore was deleted???) so
that Thunderbird had to download it from the beginning (~100 Msgs)
Perhaps that might be a server problem, but I don't know right, since
Thunderbird did this once without prior install of a new version but copying the
profile to a different computer  (perhaps offline settings aren't saved with the
profile?)

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
Either
1. Have your working copy of Thunderbird running with imap accout.
2. Update your version with a newer (1.0RC1) version.
3. Open your imap folder again.

or
2. transfer your profile folder contents to a different PC.
Actual Results:  
Thuinderbird had to reload/redownload the imap folder contents.

Expected Results:  
messages as well as offline settings stored with the profile (no reload)

no crash but strange behaviour

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

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.
