501319 - Archive Button sends messages to nowhere on items in a global search on IMAP inbox

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

[bugzilla.mozilla.org]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I played with global search. I got a search result of 4 messages. I selected all of them and then hit the "Archive" button in the mail header. 

The "Archives" and subfolders "2008" and "2009" got created. One message got moved to 2008. Three other messages should have been moved to 2009 (and did get moved according to Activity Manager) but do not show up in 2009. They are no longer in the original location but I could not find them anywhere else.

As a last resort I tried "Undo" four times and got all archived messages back to their original location. Archive Manager now shows "1 indexed message" in the original folder. This seems to indicate that the three others never left this original folder?

Thanks to undo I have my messages back.

Error console showed nothing during the whole operation

The red marked activities are the Archiving of the four messages. the green marked activities happened during or after the "Undo" actions

IMAP or POP3? If IMAP, could you generate a protocol log?

Instructions on how to generate such logs are available at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing.

A protocol log is only useful in this case if it's IMAP.

I played around with this briefly and I can't reproduce it, therefore moving back to unconfirmed as we need more information e.g. the requested logs, more information about the reporter's settings etc.

hi and sorry for not getting back earlier.

I'm at TB3 beta3 meanwhile and cannot reproduce the issue. Whatever it was, it did not happen again.
