350542 - Mail fails to select startup folder with global inbox

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[Andrew Schultz]

With linux seamonkey build 2006-08-28-09-trunk, I get the message

JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/msgMail3PaneWindow.js :: EnsureFolderIndex :: line 1513"  data: no]Exception in LoadStartFolder caused by no default account.  We know about this

at mail startup, even though there is a default account.  The default account uses a global inbox and is set up to not check mail at startup.  With this, mail attempts to select the top-level account folder, but because it uses a global index, the top-level folder is missing.

We already had rootMsgFolder, which is what we really want.

JFTR: I didn't actually do a regression window search, but I had some old builds lying around: The Windows nightly 2006-03-10-09 dumps
  TypeError: msgFolder has no properties
on your testcase, Windows nightly 2006-03-22-09 dumps your error message, even though with a slightly different line number.

Looks reasonable.

Aside: I noticed we should be using startURI rather than startFolder or startFolderResource.

This appears to have never been fixed on the 1.8 branch. The latest Tb 2 nightly (20070308) is still giving the errors. Scott, is it too late to land this on the branch?
