294488 - [IMAP] duplicates created in Trash when ACL prevents message deletion

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[julp]

User-Agent:       null
Build Identifier: 1.02 (20050317)

When Thunderbird is set to move deleted messages to Trash and tries to delete 
messages from IMAP folders which have ACLs preventing it from deleting mails, 
Thunderbird reports that it can't delete but it still moves the messages to the 
Trash folder, resulting in duplicate messages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set IMAP account preferences to "move deleted mails to Trash"
2. set ACL on a folder which forbids a user to delete mails
3. log onto IMAP server as that user
4. try to delete an email from that folder
5. open IMAP Trash folder
Actual Results:  
I see a duplicate of the email I tried to delete.

Expected Results:  
There should be no duplicate in the Trash.

tested on Cyrus IMAPD 2.2.12 (but that shouldn't matter as it is a client bug)

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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I can still reproduce this bug with 1.0.6.

Fixed in trunk: the GUI doesn't let you delete messages in this case.

With the last version I tested (3.0a1, 11.10.2006), you could still get duplicate messages when attempting to move messages out of a folder without having delete rights on that folder, but I think that's a different bug.
