I see this quite often.

Matt, I'm thinking we should reopen your bug - you still see this, right?

Jack, did you change something that would cause you to write "Not [seen] recently, although it did pop up again a couple of times shortly after the report."?

AFAIK, there is no provision in the codebase currently to update the definition of saved searches when there are folder changes, either adding or subtracting folders. So I expect this bug is still valid.

Actually, if a folder is removed, I remove it from the saved search scope, and if that was the last folder in the saved search, I remove the saved search - see http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mailnews/base/src/nsMsgAccountManager.cpp#3195

This was done as part of the smart folders patch, bug 305340, I believe. So I believe this should be marked fixed...I'll do so; please re-open if you still see this.
