Do you get it only when you are using the addon ?

I started getting this error after the last Thunderbird update on both Linux and Windows. I will try to reproduce this error without this pluging and report back.

Comment 3

[fredrik chabot]

The problem persists without this add-on, albeit far less frequently.

Does this still happen in TB9? Does it happen on every message you move?

Comment 5

[fredrik chabot]

if never happend on every message maybe 1 in 20 on Windows, and 1 in a 100 on Linux.

I haven't upgraded passed 3.1.x, i'm still on 3.1.10. The filemail add-on caused all kind of weird behaviour on newer versions.

Fredrik, does this still reproduce for you?

When a message is moved, 1) the preview pane stops updating and t2) he error log contains this message

1. definitely doesn't happen when using a current version
2. I don't see evidence of MsgMoveMessage in the error console

I wouldn't know, I haven't used Thunderbird in a decade.
