89970 - POP3: Moving message deletes it from server

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 66270

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[Pratik]

This happens with the following settings

- POP3 mail
- Leave messages on server
- Delete message on server when deleted locally

Now when I move a message from Inbox to another folder (not Trash but something
else), that mesage also ends up getting deleted from the server. This is
definitely *not* the expected behaviour. I suspect it happens because Mozilla
copies the mail over and marks it as deleted in Inbox. I searched Bugzilla but
didn't find anything.

The behaviour should be to delete the message if moved to Trash but to 
keep it on server if moved to any other folder.

- Pratik.

Reporter: Which build are you using to produce this bug?? Have you tried the
latest nightly build??

Here's what I did.

- I sent a dummy message to myself on my Windows machine at home. (Mozilla build
couldn't have been more than a few days old)
- Moved the message to a different folder.
- Checked on my linux machine in office if that message shows up.

It didn't. Will try it again on current build of Linux and let you know.

(Just read Jay's posting on n.p.m.mail-news)

Using RH6.2, Linux Mozilla build 2001070806 (I thought bugzilla would have got
that automatically), Windows was Windows 2000, Mozilla build on Windows couldn't
have been much earlier than 5th July.

The behavior described by the reporter is identical as in Netscape 4.*. I
believe this is correct (BTW, deleting a message is also moving it to another
folder). I would consider the wontfix solution.
