280088 - Can't Delete Large Selection of Messages (IMAP)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 299332

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[James Watkin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206)

Whether it's a large manual selection, or messages marked as Junk, the deletion
fails silently. I was attempting to delete around 1500 messages. The actual
failure point may be different.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select ~1500 messages in Inbox (IMAP).
2. Choose Edit/Delete Selected Messages.

or 

1. Have ~1500 messages marked as Junk.
2. Choose Tools/Delete Mail Marked as Junk in Folder.

Actual Results:  
Staus bar claimed to be moving files to INBOX.Trash but nothing was moved, even
after letting it run all night.

Expected Results:  
The selected messages should have been moved to the Trash.

I too have noticed this behavior though with far fewer select messages. Maybe
with only about 100-200 messages maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less.

this should be fixed in trunk builds.
