273541 - mail doesn't get sent with no error displayed

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[amhel.abdalla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0

Could be related to 259807, but is closer to 232934 and no doubt just like 
235817 but with the added goodness of dropping sent mail all together.

Server is courrier on RHEL, client side is XP.

Only seems to happen when switching between multiple IMAP accounts, so to 
reproduce make sure you're checking a couple different email addresses.

First symptom is messages won't display at all.
Second problem is when message is sent a "couldn't copy to sent items folder" 
error is displayed.
Third and most serious problem is mail isn't actually sent at all, no error 
in /var/log/qmail/current nor record of connection, but TB doesn't give any 
indication mail wasn't sent.

You need to move back and forth between the different accounts a few times.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create at least 2 accounts
2. Create folders
3. use both accounts to send and recieve
4. watch for errors

Actual Results:  
As described. copy error, message dispaly errors and mail not sent with no 
errors.

(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
