274472 - Always regenerating Inbox index file

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Christian Ress]

Hey,
I just installed Thunderbird 1.0 (20041206) on a Windows 2000 prof., imported about 3000 Outlook 
Express mails, no problems. When I started Thunderbird afterwards, the statusline said "Generating 
Inbox Index-File" (or something like that.. I havn't got the exact english message), no problem, 
everything worked as it should... then I exited TB, started it again and the statusline said "Generating 
Inbox Index-File" again... that happens everytime.

Reproduceable: always

Steps:
1. Import mail from Outlook Express
2. Open the "Inbox" folder
3. Quit TB
4. Open it again and click "Inbox"
-> Generating Indexfile

What I expected:
Indexfile is being saved, not regenerated every time

If file for mail folder is modified by someone and timestamp is changed, ".msf"
will be recreated.
What is your anti-virus software settings?
Check your settings for "*.msf" file(control file) and file with no
extention(Unix Mbox format mail data file) under your Mail directry(see "Local
Folders" of "Server Settings" of account settings).
And check timestamp of "Inbox" file and "Inbox.msf" file just after shutdown and
just before restart.
