540442 - Smartfolder Inbox loses settings between sessions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 507335

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Marcus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 GTB6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091204 Lightning/1.0b1 Thunderbird/3.0 ThunderBrowse/3.2.7

With multiple GMail accounts specified, I deselect one from the Inbox smartfolder's search parameters. For the current session, the undesired emails disappear. If I close Thunderbird and then open it again later, however, the search box is rechecked, and the unwanted emails are back in the Inbox smartfolder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add multiple GMail accounts
2. Go into Properties for Inbox, click on Choose... button, deselect any one account 
3. Save changes and verify functionality
4. Close Thunderbird
5. Open Thunderbird
6. Verify that all GMail Inboxes are fed back into the Inbox smartfolder


Expected Results:  
The settings should be static between sessions.

I should think that having the smartfolder Inbox is fine and all, but I would also think that keeping the Inbox item in the folder pane for each account in addition to the consolidation device of the smartfolder would be much easier to maintain and much better in general for the user communities.
