User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20100111 Thunderbird/3.0.1

When performing a global search that includes messages that were in my Inbox and have since been moved to a local folder, the global search includes the Inbox in the folder filter, but when "open as list" is use you can see that the message location doesn't include the Inbox

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move part or all of a thread from one folder to another
2. Perform search on partial subject with quotes
3. Click Open as List
4. Add Location to fields in Open as List tab
5. Verify that number of emails for each Folder in Global Search tab do not match number of times that folder is shown in Open as List tab

1. Move part or all of a thread from one folder to another
2. Perform search on partial subject with quotes
3. Filter based on folder that the emails were moved from
4. Click Open as List
5. Verify that Open as List only shows actual emails in folder and count does not match that indicated in Global Search
Actual Results:  
For first steps
Number of emails does not match for the folder that the emails were recently moved from.

For second steps
Content of Open as List corresponds to actual folder content for search.  Number of emails will not match that indicated in Global Search

Expected Results:  
Global search does not present Folders that don't actually match search and correct number of emails is displayed

It seems this is part of a more generic problem.
Indices are not being rebuilt when messages are moved.

After messages are moved, the search engine will list them, but clicking on a message will bring an empty tab.
Switching to list view will not list those blank messages, even though they are simply in another folder.

stubbsj, do you see this when using version 5?

@wsmwk, the issue still exists.

While the search finds all emails searched for, the moved emails do not show up when open as a list is used.  This is the same behavior as shown in version 3.1.10.

This bug it's still present on version 17.0.2
Is there any workaround for this?
