Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 42518

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

When I launch mozilla.exe -mail it doesn't start. I just says:
stdout directed to dynamic console
stderr directed to dynamic console
WEBSHELL+ = 1
WEBSHELL+ = 2
WEBSHELL+ = 3
prefillAccount = null
start message pane with: http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/start.html
In sortColumn

and then it hangs forever....

Build 2000061420 on Win2000

I had the same problem yesterday on Win 98, but I traced it to my computer.
while I was trouble shooting a non-Mozilla bug I had reset the date to 1999-07-
14 and forgot to set it back to the present. Mail worked after the correct date
was entered.

It took a long time to start for me (Windows 2000, first use of the mail/news 
client under Mozilla on this machine), but it did start.  So it's not universal 
for Win2000 or anything.

I just found out that it's my localstore.rdf file that was causing this. If I 
remove my localstore.rdf file everything works fine.
I'll attach my localstore.rdf file, perhaps someone could test it....
