525728 - Complete accounts appear in the Junk Smart Folder

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 520408

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[bricolo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 Firefox/3.5.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090915 Thunderbird/3.0b4

With Thunderbird 3.0b4, a bug appeared after a few hours of use:
The Junk Smart Foldernormally has each account's Junk folder in its subfolders
Now in its subfolders, some of my mail accounts appear!

It looks like this
[-]Junk
 [-][e-mail] (this one is correct, it's the junk folder from the account)
 [-][e-mail] (this is the account with all its subfolders!!!)
  [-]inbox
  [-]drafts
  [-]sent
  [-]archives
  [-]etc...

So the account appears, and not only its Junk folder.

Also, in some menus where I have to select folders from an account, the accounts that have the problem (appearing in the Junk Smart Folder) have a Junk icon for the account itself. Like if the whole account was listed as Junk.


This happened since I installed 3.0b4, and it uses the same profile as my TB 2.0 that still exists on the system. When I run 2.0 and enter a menu where I have to select folders (like on second picture) the accound is also listed as junk like in 3.0b4.

Any ideas?

Reproducible: Didn't try

Edit: re-tried a few times on a clean install (no existing profile)
Once I add the second mail account (all IMAP), the first one gets messed up and is displayed in the Junk Smart Folder

Have you tried a recent 3.0 pre build? I can't remember if we fixed the root account junk issue in 3.0b4...

No, I'll try that.
Can I install it over my existing profile, or is it messed up now and I need a clean install? (since the acount also somewhat seems messed up when I open it in 2.0)

So far so good, with the latest-comm-1.9.1

But only with a clean install, over the existing profile the profile stays messed up

Comment 5

[David :Bienvenu]

yes, it would require a clean install...

Bricolo sorry for the issue :-(. As it's fixed in recent nightly I'm going to resolve this bug as a dup. Ain't sure it's the proper bug ...

DUPIng to Bug 520408.

bricolo, can you observe problem at Smart Folders after next?
  1. Delete panecea.dat
  2. Delete file named <server_name>.msf in ImapMail directory.
     (<server_name> is directory to keep .msf files for IMAP folders)
  3. Restart Tb

WADA: I installed the last 3.0 pre and followed your 1-2-3 instructions. My old database seems fixed

I remember trying that too, but with 3.0b4 and the problem was still there. So there's an improvement :)
