284931 - folder pane shows wrong number of messages in folder

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

I have a local mail folder that has 2 email messages in it.
The pane that lists the folders says it has 3.
The pane that lists all the messages in the folder shows 2.
I have only ever copied two messages to this folder, and the
folder only contains two lines that look like this
>       From - Sat Feb 19 00:48:57 2005

Desired result: count of messages in folder pane agrees with 
count shown in message list pane.
Actual result:  folder pane counts one too many messages.
Reproducible: always, with this folder.

Will attach screen shot.

Attachment: screen shot of bad count

This is with moz 1.8a6.

[R.K.Aa.]

Is it the count that is wrong, or is there an "invisible" mail in your mailbox file?

Well, IINM, moz uses those lines that begin with "From - " to delimit 
messsages.  There are only two such lines.  There really are only 2 
messages in the folder file.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago.

Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED.

If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.
