Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

I often put the machine into hibernation when TBird is running.  When I take it
out of hibernation, the mail store is often corrupted. Some messages I had read
are marked unread, and the inbox index file sometimes has to be rebuilt.

This only happens to my inbox folder, which is very large (several Gigs).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. With TBird running, put the machine into hibernation.
2. Bring the machine out of hibernation.
3. 

Actual Results:  
The inbox index needs to be rebuilt, and the state of messages is corrupted. 
Many of all read messages are flipped to unread.

Expected Results:  
Not corrupted my inbox ;)

I am going to change this to *always* reproducible. I have found that even after
I close all TBird windows, it can take a while for the TBird process to
completely exit. If I put the machine into hibernation without first making sure
the TBird process is no longer running, I end up with a corrupt inbox when I
start back up. VERY frustrating. The app needs to support hibernation.
