Hi,

I would like to annnouce new unknow bug in Thunderbird ver. 1402

I use Thunderbird as SMTP/POP client... and I have in inbox something
about 1800mails.

But now... when I try to launch Thinderbird... Thunderbird launches
very long time (about 2 minutes) ... after that time launches
correctly... but I have in inbox about 9000 new emails for every new
execution of thunderbir. Thats no new mails... that's copies of old
emails....

Mails aren't downloaded from web... because of thunderbird tryies to
connect to POP3 after it's launch... it means... after adding 9000 of
new emails per every runs of thunderbird :( 

So now I have in inbox about 45000 mails :(

If I can help you in finding solution of this bug, write me.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. runs Thunderbird
2. inbox duplicates about 9000 emails
3. thunderbird tryes to connect to POP3
4. thunderbird IS launched - ok

Actual Results:  
inbox will contain about 9000 new copyes of old emails of inbox 

Expected Results:  
nothing

If I can help you in finding solution of this bug, write me.

shut down thunderbird, and remove your inbox.msf file from your user profile directory. Then, restart thunderbird. The inbox.msf file will be regenerated, and this problem should stop happening.
