524992 - Cannot find messages previously read/opened

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[dta]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6; InfoPath.1; AskTB5.3)
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.23 (20090812)

I cannot find a message that I read/open and close.  E.g., when I close Thunderbird at the end of the day and open it the next day, I cannot find any of the messages I previously opened without using the Search Messages function.  However, when I find them and try opening them through Search Messages, I get a blank window.  Why am I not able to view previously read/opened messages I keep?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I open Thunderbird and login.
2. I look for previously viewed messages and cannot find them.
3. I highlight my Inbox, click Search, and find the message, click Open and get a blank window.
Actual Results:  
My previously viewed messages can be found through Search Messages only.  I cannot find them by date.

Expected Results:  
I expect to be able to find previously viewed messages in my Inbox without looking for them through the Search Messages function.

You might have to rebuild you indexes - click on the folder - select property and click rebuild. How big are your mailboxes files ?
