751693 - Seamonkey 2.9.1 mail will not delete messages while downloading new mail from pop servers

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Backend, defect)

Description

[Gord Ross]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:11.0) Gecko/20120312 Firefox/11.0 SeaMonkey/2.8
Build ID: 20120312224753

Steps to reproduce:

1. Installed 2.9.1 on i386 running kubuntu 11.10 (oneiric)
2. Started seamonkey  ("seamonkey -mail").
3. Email was downloading from 5 pop servers for 5+ minutes into separate account inboxes.
4.  I read and tried to delete email messages in two inboxes which were not downloading messages at the time.  The delete failed.


Actual results:

During the downloading of email I tried to delete email messages from two other pop accounts (which were not downloading email).   One was an imap account (which keeps messages on the server) and the other was a pop account (which downloaded the messages to a local inbox, but had finished downloading all messages from the server).

 I clicked the delete button, then delete key and finally right click..delete message.  In all three cases the mail message was not deleted and there were no pop-up windows showing errors.  This happened for both pop and imap accounts.

I restarted seamonkey and the mail messages I tried to delete were still there.

After downloading all messages the delete button worked as expected (it deleted the email message).

I reverted to version 2.8 and did not experience the problem.



Expected results:

Messages should be delete-able while message downloads into other account/folders was being down.

I appreciate very, very much all the work you do to make seamonkey an excellent product!  Thank you!!

NOT reproducible with DE SeaMonkey 2.35(γ)  (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0 nightly by Adrian Kalla)  Gecko/20100101 Build 20150616034436 (Classic Theme) on German WIN7 64bit

OS related or vanished?

Still a problem for you?

No response, so I close this one for now.
@Reporter: Please feel free to reopen this Bug if you still can reproduce the problem with a current SeaMonkey version and a current OS and if you can contribute a step by step instruction due to <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines>  (containing every key press and every mouse click) how to reproduce the problem reliably.
