424597 - conversation view isn't working on saved search folders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 379806

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Exception e]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.12 (20080213)

Although one can use a threaded view (conversation view) on regular inbox folder, it isn't possible to do so for search folders.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. perform a search [ctrl+shift+f]
2. save as a search folder
3. Tick in the menu: View > Conversations > All
Actual Results:  
no messages are displayed

Expected Results:  
threaded view of messages from the saved search folder

Having addons doesn't matter here, conversation view is broken in the vanilla thunderbird.

With loads of conversations, this bug is very annoying.

Actually, it works over a single folder...
