Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[nags]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 0.6+ (20050215)

This is in Mozilla Thunderbird.  Whenever I set a new criteria for the filter
and run it immediately, all the mails in my inbox get deleted.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I have configured to use my Exchange account in Thunderbird.
How to reproduce (first configure a new filter as below) :

I created a new Message Filter for my Exchange Account (Filter Name : Delete
Activity Report)
Added filter criteria, Selected : Match any of the following
Subject Contains "Autodesk Test Activity Report"
Subject Contains "Autodesk Production Activity Report"
Subject Contains "Autodesk Test/QA Background Job Status"
Subject Contains "Daily Checklist"
Subject Contains "SiteScope Alert, error, CA Notification Report"
Subject Contains "Autodesk Production Background Job Status"

And you check the following in Perform these actions
Mark the message as read
Delete the message

Next Step : Click OK, select the filter and say Run Now.  All messages from the
inbox get deleted.

Next Step : After you have some more messages in the inbox.
Add a new filter criteria to the above filter
Subject Contains "any junk here"

Click OK and select the filter and say run now.  All mails get deleted again.  I
lost emails at least 5 times like this.  It keeps repeating.  I tried with the
latest nightly build.  And it is the same problem.



Actual Results:  
All mails in my inbox get deleted.

Expected Results:  
Only the mails that match the filter criteria should get deleted.
