293831 - Search Messages - status is/isn't forwarded returns no messages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 293828

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[jason lowry]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

I just opened bug 293828 where virtual folders wouldn't work with a filter of
"status is/isn't forwarded". With further testing, I confirmed that I was unable
to search messages with this filter as well. I also confirmed that it works
correctly on local folders, but not on IMAP mail folders

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Edit >> Find... >> Search Messages... (or ctrl-shift-F)
2. Select an IMAP folder to search for messages
3. Create a filter of "Status is/isn't Forwarded"
4. Press the Search button

Actual Results:  
Though I have messages that have been forwarded, there were no messages displayed.

Expected Results:  
Messages that were/weren't forwarded should have been displayed.

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

This is still a problem for IMAP folders in 1.5.

Sergey, can you search to see if this bug is the same as some other open bug?

you might need to use advanced search to narrow the field

I have not found an exact duplicate.  bug 78418 is similar, though.
