276319 - incorrect messages marked as junk & deleted - change folders while incoming mail is being junk processed

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Don Erway]

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 1.0 - version 1.0 (20041206)

With a large bunch of message selected in some folder, click "junk", and then
change folders while the operation is in progress.  The new folder will have
several messages marked as junk and deleted, improperly.  I have seen this
sporadically, always just with one, and attributed it to some delayed click or
something.  But with the large selection, I've lost as many as 3 message in the
other folder.

Also the folder I selected had about 10 unread messages in it.  I think the 3
messages are deleted before even selecting a message in the folder.  Probably
irrelevant, but...

Finally, an equal number of messages in the orignal selection, are NOT marked as
junk from the original folder, when they should be.

This only seems to happen with a real bunch of mixed messages, marking them as
junk.  Not with N hundred or thousand copies of one message.




Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See Details
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
messages marked junk and deleted, that should not have been.
messages not marked, that were commanded to be junked.

Expected Results:  
Only and exactly the messages selected when hitting the junk button, should be
marked as junk, and deleted.

Suspect this does not happen in mozilla 1.7.x, as I have never encountered it,
in years of use.  Might be worth a check though.

On further experimentation, I think this is caused by the background getting of
mail, and filtering tasks.

I have 3 pop3 accounts setup, and they all have junk mail controls, and message
filters setup.  The primary filter simply moves messages from known email
addresses to local-folders/inbox.

I set up the pop3 server settings to check every minute.

Then click back and forth, between two local folders, subfolders, that have
messages which would be considered junk, by the filter.

As any new junk message arrives, I am able to see messages incorrectly processed
as junk, in a static folder, when I select that folder at the right moment.
