366261 - Sent messages do not appear in Sent folder, yet are physically present in "Sent" mail file

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 366151

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[David Campbell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: 20070107

This seems to be a new problem that has come in the very recent daily builds.

Sent messages do not appear in Sent folder in Thunderbird, yet are physically present in "Sent" mail file.

If I check the dates on the files I can see that the msf file hasn't changed at the time the mail message was sent, but the Sent file has changed.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Send an email
2.  Observe that it does not appear in the Sent folder
3.  Look at the Sent folder in the filesystem
Actual Results:  
Mail message does not appear in the Sent folder in the Thunderbird application, though it does appear in the Sent folder in the filesystem

Expected Results:  
It should appear in both

My Thunderbird is configured as follows:

When sending messages, automatically place a copy in "Sent" folder on Local Folders.

Confirming bug on Windows XP. Regression occurred between 20070106 and 20070107 trunk builds.

At first I thought it was one of the X-Mozilla-Status headers, but it's not. Regenerating the MSF file by closing Thunderbird, deleting Sent.msf, and restarting does cause the missing messages to appear.

Updating appropriate fields.
