944885 - Virtual folder filter fails on some header fields

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Search, defect)

Description

[Ulf Zibis]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131115110311

Steps to reproduce:

- POP3 account to pop.gmx.net (freemail) since long time
- add IMAP account to imap.gmx.net with same user email, no offline store
  (purpose: better search and de-garbage facilities as via web interface)
- on IMAP INBOX add virtual folder and filter on:
  a) To        ends_with  yahoogroups.com
  b) List-Id   ends_with  yahoogroups.com
  c) List-Id   contains   yahoogroups.com
  e) Reply-To  ends_with  yahoogroups.com
  f) Reply-To  ends_with  yahoogroups.com>
  g) Reply-To  contains   yahoogroups.com
  h) Sender    contains   yahoogroups.com
  i) Envelope-To  contains   gmx.de



Actual results:

  a) works  on  aaa <[e-mail]>
  b) fails  on  aaa <xxx.yahoogroups.com>
  c) works  on  aaa <xxx.yahoogroups.com>
  e) fails  on  aaa <[e-mail]>
  f) fails  on  aaa <[e-mail]>
  g) fails  on  aaa <[e-mail]>
  h) fails  on  [e-mail]
  i) fails  on  aaa <[e-mail]>

BTW: In file Yahoo.msf I see:
("list-id",contains,yahoogroups.com\)
("reply-to",contains,yahoogroups.com\)
("Sender",contains,yahoogroups.com\)
I'm wondering, why all tags are converted to lower case except "Sender".




Expected results:

  a) OK
  b) nice to have
  c) OK
  e) nice to have
  f) should work
  g) should work
  h) should work
  i) should work


BTW: Normal message filter on POP3 account works fine with
Reply-To  ends_with  yahoogroups.com>  on  aaa <[e-mail]>

"Virtual Folder" definition is saved in virtualFolders.dat file.
What is saved in virtualFolders.dat for your Virtual Folder?
Do you see difference between "predefined Sender" and "Customized Sender(header)", difference on "Sender" between Virtual Folder(virtualFolders.dat) and Message filter(msgFilterrules.dat)?

If "search target folders" is IMAP folder only, "Online Search" can be normally requested by Virtual Folder definition.
I don't know Tb's spec on "Online Search" or "Local Search" when search target folders are mixed.
  - Local mail folder
  - IMAP Offline-Use=On folder
  - IMAP Offline-Use=Off folder

Do you see your problem with "Online Search" on IMAP folder only Virtual Folder?
(IMAP SEARCH command is used. Get IMAP log.)

If "Local Search" on IMAP folder, one of following is needed to search customized header data(set in mailnews.customHeaders).
(a) Set in mailnews.customDBHeaders
(b) Offline-Use=On, auto-sync=On, entire mail data is already downloaded by auto-sync
Because you looks to love Offline-Use=Off, (b) is impossible.

Do you see your problem with (a) followed by "Repair Folder"?
