288668 - Deleted search folder (aka "view" and "virtual folder") cannot be re-created

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 267890

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Andreas Kalin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050331
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050331

Incomplete cleanup when a search folder is deleted.
The file panacea.dat still contains an entry for the search folder.
The result is that, after a search folder has been deleted, it is not possible
to create a new search folder with the same name.

See #11051 for background on the new, extremely powerful search folders.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In MailNews main window: View->Customize
2. Create a view called "Inbox-test" with some search criteria.
3. Select the folder "Inbox-test" in the folder pane.
4. Press delete (there does not seem to be any other way to delete it... perhaps
a separate bug report?)
5. In MailNews main window: View->Customize
6. Create a view called "Inbox-test" with some search criteria.

Actual Results:  
Popup with "A folder with that name already exists. Please enter a different name."

Expected Results:  
Create the folder.

Manual cleanup and restart fixes the problem.
