Description

[Amit D Chaudhary]

Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0RC1 (20041201)

When creating(composing) an email for an IMAP account(doubt if this matters) and
saving while editing, multiple copies of the same email are created in the
Drafts folder under Local Folders.
I ended up with 50 mail copies for 3 composed.

Thanks
Amit

Reproducible: Always

POP3 with global inbox set.
2. Add a subject and some text in the email body. Type Ctrl+S to save the email
3. Now type some more text in the body. Type Ctrl+S again.
4. Check the Drafts folder, the emails increase with each Ctrl+S.

The draft folder had multiple copies of the same email being composed.

Expected Results:  
Created a copy which matched the last saved email
