292079 - Empty files crated and left in Temp folder (newmsg)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050425 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050425 Firefox/1.0+

Every time Thunderbird is started (using latest nightly) it creates temporary
files in C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Local Settings\Temp\.

These files are named newmsg-1 newmsg-2 newmsg-3 ...

When Thuderbird closes, it should delete these files - but doesn't.

Opening Thunderbird appears to create a small number of new files each time. The
number created isn't fixed.



Reproducible: Always

These files are written when mailnews.downloadToTempFile is set, see bug 116443.
They're supposed to be deleted afterwards. Attachment 173650 [details] [diff] changed that delete
to a truncate, but EndMailDelivery should have delete it. Maybr it didn't do it ?

Attachment: proposed fix

we weren't clearing the temp file in the abort case, which turns out to be the
code that's hit when there are no message in the pop3 inbox.

iirc, the reason we changed the delete to a truncate was to avoid creating and
deleting the temp file for every message we download in a session.
