640018 - Messages created from Templates are assigned duplicate MessageID

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1279869

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[alfadog]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Lightning/1.0b2 Thunderbird/3.1.9

When I create and save a Template, each time I use that template, the same message-id is assigned to the newly-created message. When I save two or more of these messages into my IMAP Drafts, the server may get confused as to which one I am saving, deleting or replacing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a template.
2. Open the template and tweak it a bit, then save it to your drafts.
3. Repeat steps one and two.
4. Now view all headers, and look at the message IDs for the two newly-created drafts. They are identical.
Actual Results:  
When I edit and save a draft, the wrong draft may be removed by the server.

Expected Results:  
The correct draft should be replaced by the new draft.

Sorry - in the "Steps to Reproduce" step 3, I meant to say "Repeat step 2"

Your problem is actual example of (A) of bug 720646 comment #0.
Setting dependency for ease of tracking and analysis.

Who removed wrong draft is Tb, if correct draft mails are returned for "Search for mail of the Message-ID".
Who removed wrong draft can be called IMAP server, if wrong draft mail is returned to "Search for mail of the Message-ID".
Which case?
(Get IMAP log and check IMAP level flow. See bug 402793 comment #28 for getting log.)
