Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Dimitri Tarassenko]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: ThunderBird version 1.0 (20041206)

Message views that filter messages by labels (Important/Work/etc.) stops working
if the selector in find window is set to "Entire Message" and when the mailbox
is IMAP (POP works fine).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In message search field, click the hourglass icon and select "Entire Message"
2. Mark several messages as "Important" (1) in an IMAP-based folder
3. Select "Important" in message view

Actual Results:  
The list of messages is empty

Expected Results:  
Display messages marked as "Important"

This bug report is very confusing because the terminology is mistaken:  The 
dropdown box at the top selects a "MailView" (which is in fact a sort of filter, 
but it's not called a filter here); the other box is called the "QuickSearch" 
field.

I can reproduce this symptom: in an IMAP folder, with Entire Message selected as 
the QuickSearch criterion but no text entered in the QS field, selecting a 
MailView other than All results in no messages selected.  If text is entered 
such that MailView=All results in some messages, selecting a MailView other than 
All may display no matches or may show the list unchanged.

Reproduced with TB 1.0, Win2K.

Seen with tb 1.0 on linux as well. Actually, the 'Unread' mailview does work on
an IMAP folder even when 'Entire Message' is selected for the search bar
textbox; the other mailviews I have defined do not.

'Search Exception' is printed on console each time.

This bug is reported against outdated versions of TB.
In current nightly, doing STR, everything works as expected.
Remaining problems, if any, please report in a new bug.
