Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I Installed TBird on the most PCs of my family to secure them a little.
On all of them I encountered the same problem at different intervals
and with different versions of TBird:
When the user launched TBird the count of message left to download jumped to
astronomic numbers and TBird didn't downloaded anything.
The Inbox message count also displayed huge numbers (ie 12465).
When accessing mailboxes by the web interface, only a few messages were waiting
to be downloaded

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch TBird (with option retreive mail at startup)

Actual Results:  
TBrid was blocked and didn't dowloaded messages at all

Expected Results:  
Download and display the good message count

The only way I found to solve the problem was to rename in the user's profile
the inbox folder to force TBird to create a new one.

Reporter, does the issue still occur in the latest supported 2.0.0.x / trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported 2.0.0.x is 2.0.0.16)
