379531 - Crashes during Folder Compact and IMAP folders selected for offline use are unselected

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Ian McCrae]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.0 (20070326)

I am using Thunderbird version 2.0.0.0 (20070326) on a Mac Os X 10.4.9.
I have 4Gb of mail in +2000 folders on Groupwise that I am accessing via IMAP 

When I perform a Folder Compact, Thunderbird often crashes and a Force Quit is required to start things.  

IMAP folders that have been previously selected for offline use are randomly unselected.  I can see no pattern regarding which folders are deslected. The .msf and .sdb files for these folders that have been randomly deselected also disappear from my hard drive.  This is most frustrating as often 1.5Gb of download email will disappear from my hard drive and needs to be down loaded in several chunks. 



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Folder Compact
2. Do some other random tasks in Thunderbird
3. Then generally Thunderbird will crash pretty quickly and a Force Quit is required
