293083 - Unclean handling of 'diskspace full' when importing mail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 262735

(Thunderbird :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Garret Thomson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: thunderbird build (20050317)

I was importing mail from Outlook 2000 into Thunderbird, and ran out of
diskspace. Rather than cleanly exit the import process, Thunderbird attempts to
import each message with the same result: a diskspace related dialog box.

(I searched for 20 minutes for a duplicate of this, as I have a hard time
thinking nobody has run into this, but couldn't find a similar bug.)

I believe the bug should be obvious enough in the code so I havn't reproduced it
more than twice, but I suppose it is

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Work with a disk that is garaunteed to fill during import process. (eg:
import 200 megs worth of Outlook data with only 20 megs left)

Actual Results:  
When disk is full, import will spawn a dialog indicating that it cannot save
temporary file to draft.

It appears to generate this dialog box for every subsequent message rather than
detect that disk is full and offer a way out of import process.

Expected Results:  
Provide a clean way to exit the import process rather than continuing to try and
import each message.
