committing.

Is this related to the account manager shutdown problem? Adding Scott P to cc
list - he knows a lot about similar issues for local mail folders.

Hmm.  When I last tested out Shutdown, I verified that all of my news, imap, and
local folders were getting deleted.  So, either there's an extra ref count when
you do something I wasn't doing with news, we're leaking again, or it's a
different problem.

Seth, was this fixed the day we found a memory leak in nsMsgFolder::GetServer,
or is this a different bug?

putterman fixed some ref-counting problems.  I need to re-investigate this
again. (I think it may be fixed.

Have not heard back from Seth so went ahead to test this fix.

I created a news account and subscribed to a newsgroup. Downloaded
messages, read a few, then closed mozilla. Reopened and checked the
newsgroup again. Everything looked okay. I was using a debug build
from 11/22/99.

Seth - if this is not sufficent to test then let me know.
