320531 - erroneous autosave alert: "your message has been saved..." when it wasn't

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[wintogreen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: 1.5 (20051201)

My primary IMAP account also has a 2nd identity for mail forwarded from a 2nd IMAP account. This identity is set to store drafts in the 2nd IMAP account's Drafts folder. Account passwords are not saved.

When composing a message using the above-mentioned identity and autosave kicks in, TB prompts me for the password for the 2nd IMAP account, as it should, so that it can save the message in that account's Drafts folder. However, if I hit cancel instead of entering the password, which means that TB cannot actually save the message into that Drafts folder, I get a popup alert saying "Your message has been saved to the Drafts folder under [2nd IMAP accountname]."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose message using account/identity setup descibed above.
2. When prompted for password, don't enter it. Cancel instead.

Actual Results:  
Alert: "Your message has been saved to the Drafts folder under [2nd IMAP accountname]" (even though it wasn't actually saved).

Expected Results:  
Give a different alert, such as "Unable to save the message to [foldername] under [accountname]."

I just did some VERY quick testing with the version 2 beta 1 20061227 zip build, and I couldn't reproduce the problem any more. So, maybe it's all good now.
