71205 - If mozilla crashes, all deletes and moves are restored to last operation of mail

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 65630

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Damon Jacobsen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010215
BuildID:    2001021508

say I have deleted 20 files. my computer crashes, and when I boot up they are
all back again. In some instances the mail that is there is duplicated. I have
also once deleted the index files to have mozilla reindex. The behaviour of
crashes in mail is duplicated in this instance too. It seems the database is
only updated on a succesful restart.. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1)delete some mail. 
2)turn off your pc without shutting down
3)open mail


Actual Results:  You will find all your changes are gone. new mail sent out is
still ion sent, but all deletes are reversed.

Expected Results:  I would expect mail to save deletes as you went along rather
than caching them

I am not sure if this should be listed as a higher priority because it causes me
a ton of work when I have to clean up three days of email when I crash..
