550276 - tags applied to emails disappear after restart (IMAP)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[skuhn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100205 SeaMonkey/2.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100205 SeaMonkey/2.0.3

Tags (like "urgent to do" etc.) applied to stored email messages in my "Inbox" disappear from one launch of "SeaMonkey" to the next. This may be a problem specific to IMAP servers (I don't have this problem with my POP email account); however, it didn't USE to be there: I still have a few 2-year old email messages from the same IMAP account in my "Inbox" that have RETAINED their tags all this time; just any more recent tags that I try to apply disappear (they remain during any given session, but apparently don't get stored and are gone when restarting SeaMonkey).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select email message in "Inbox"
2. Apply tag (like "urgent to do")
3. Quit and restart SeaMonkey -> tag is gone.
Actual Results:  
Tag is gone

Expected Results:  
Tag should be permanent until changed by me.

Duplicate of MailNews Core bug 542137?

Works For Me.

Please try in Safe mode ( http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talk:Safe_Mode#Safe_Mode_in_SeaMonkey_2 ).

Have it import from profile on SeaMonkey 1.1.x?

Might be a server problem. Some servers only allow a predefined list of tags.

Closing as there has been no feedback from the original reporter in a year. Please reopen if the problem still happens.
