280030 - Not going offline after download

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[James Cribb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206), with default theme and no extensions

Online/offline status is shown in the bottom left corner icon (cable
with/without a red cross) and the File - Offline - Work offline menu
(with/without a tick next to it).

I have the "download messages" preference set to "ask me".

When I go offline and choose "download", Thunderbird does not go offline.  If I
use the menu rather than the icon, the menu subsequently indicates that I am
offline, but the icon indicates I am online.

If I choose "don't download", it works as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set offline download pref to "ask me", and go online.
2. Go offline and choose "download"
Actual Results:  
If I go offline using the "File - Offline" menu, and choose "download" when it
asks me, a tick appears next to the Work offline menu indicating I am offline,
but the other Offline menu entries are still selectable, and there is no cross
in the bottom left icon.

If I go offline by clicking on the bottom left icon, and choose "download" when
it asks me, it downloads from the servers but then the icon and the offline menu
indicate that I am still online.

Expected Results:  
When downloads have finished, tick appears against "work offline" menu and cross
appears on bottom left icon.

WFM if I start with a blank profile (by renaming ~/.thunderbird).

I imported my Thunderbird profile from Mozilla 1.7.5.
(which I think also had this bug...?)

I will now try recreating my profile from scratch :-(
