287360 - not all mails showing in the inbox folder

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

I imported a huge amount of emails from Outlook 2003. The inbox count (status
bar on the right side) shows a total of 37982 items. I don't think this number
is wrong, maybe there are so many emails, since I don't delete any of them.
But there is a strange thing. The number keeps rising owith huge speed. Almost
every time i get new mail, the number jumps, rising for like 500 items, maybe
more. And there are actualy only 200 showing in the inbox. In the meantime i
restarted the client, and the number of items in the folder is 38032... (i got
only one new mail).

This could be some parsing problem, since the client takes a long time loading
emails on the startup. The Inbox file for this account is 200MB. (ADD AN ARCHIVE
FUNCTION!!!)
This could be related to Bugzilla Bug 280311. Happens to me also.
In this state, this is very annoying, since i don't see a way to fix this.
Deleting emails doesn't help, since i don't see all of them.
This wasn't happening with lower amounts of emails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Starup Thunderbird
2. Watch it load for a minute
3. 

Actual Results:  
Only 200 items of the 38032 showing.

Expected Results:  
Show all emails!

I have the profiles folder outside the default folder. On my backup drive.

I forgot. This happens with all version since 0.6 (then i have started using
Thunderbird).

Did you try to delete your index file (inbox.msf) in your profile and see if
this helps (close TB before)?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
