Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Bernd Kuemmerlen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

The filterlog.html file does not show the author, date and ID of the filtered
mails, instead, it shows entries of the form

Applied filter "Bulk" to message from  -  at 1970-01-01 01:00:00
Action = Move to folder mailbox://test/Lists
 id =


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Filter log in Message Filters
2. Wait for some messages to be filtered
3. View the filterlog.html file 

Actual Results:  
The filterlog shows that the messages have been filtered into their folders, but
does not show the author, correct date and ID of the message

Expected Results:  
Log all information about the filtered messages

This happens with Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206) for a POP3 account. 

The Junk filter log looks OK

[Markus Kimmerle]

When the filter is used on already downloaded emails, all the information is
correct.

Comment 2

[David :Bienvenu]

yes, filter logging seems a bit broken, somewhat inconsistently...

Comment 3

I can confirm this bug exists in Thungerbird 1.0.2 as well, on Win XP. The log
file shows 1970-01-01 01:00:00 at every action, so no action can be identified,
making filter logging useless.

This appears to be the same as bug 278337 although that was reported for the Mac.
I confirm this bug with Thunderbird 1.0.2 and the repro circumstances.

Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317); Mac OS X 10.3.9

As noted earlier (Bug 278337), this bug affects the Mac and likely affects all
Hardware and OS version - those fields in this bug should be changed accordingly.

David Bienvenu: the Product/Version on Bug 278337 were changed from
Thunderbird/General to Core/MailNews:Filters. Should the same should be done for
this bug?

Comment 7

[David :Bienvenu]

yes, it's a core bug, not an app-specific bug.

Comment 8

[Jim Booth]

I can also confirm this bug in Seamonkey 2005052905.  

Shouldn't the product be changed to Core, or else this bug should be a dupe of
bug 278337?

FWIW I have a rather long-running filter log for one POP account, and the
logging was working fine up through 2004-11-19 but then abruptly turned bad and
has stayed that way, for that account. I have used nightlies with this profile,
so if the bug's a regression maybe that could help pinpoint it.

Currently using the TB 1.02 milestone on XP.

I can verify that it doesn't work on 1.0.6 on both Win 2000 and XP. The only
difference for me is the bad date is 1 day earlier than reported by others:

Applied filter "lists" to message from - at 1969-12-31 17:00:00 Action = Move to
folder mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Inbox/Lists id =

Applied filter "eBay" to message from - at 1969-12-31 17:00:00 Action = Move to
folder mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/eBay id =

Attachment: proposed fix

log filter hit before we've cleared out the header from the db, when the pop3
message is moved.

proposed fix

this much improves the usefulness of the filter log for pop3.

Comment 14

[David Müller]

I haven't checked if this issue was really fixed back in 2005 but it seems it seems that that Seamonkey and Thunderbird are hit by it again.

[Adam Groszer]

Thunderbird 24.5.0 on ubuntu 14.04

it's back:

Applied filter "strange" to message from - at 01/01/1970 01:00:00 AM moved message id = to mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Inbox_strange

weird is that it seems to err on the action MOVE, but not on mark as read:

Applied filter "fetchandmail OK" to message from fetchandmail <[e-mail]> - OK http://localhost:8080/673277/@@processJobMail at 05/29/2014 02:20:27 AM marked as read

Applied filter "fetchandmail OK" to message from - at 01/01/1970 01:00:00 AM moved message id = to mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/refline/nagios
