94809 - Unable to see local messages with infinite amount of folders created.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62110

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[[e-mail] (gone - use [e-mail] instead)]

Build ID:  2001-08-10-05, Mac OS X

Summary:  Unable to see local messages with infinite amount of folders created.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Using a POP account (I used both an existing profile, and also created a new
one, both exhibited same behavior), attempt to download new mail.
2.  See below under "Actual Results", but while mail keeps looping, click on
local folders.

Expected Results:

Mail is downloaded ;-)

Actual Results:

1.  Mail appears to download (status text shows 'Receiving xx of xx messages',
but status bar and progress meter keep churning really slow.
2.  This may be a seperate bug, but clicking on a local folder spurns endless
amounts of local folder copies, Esther/John Noonan saw 360+, I've seen 125.

The multiple Local Folders folders are covered by least-favorite bug 62110.

You get the same behaviour with IMAP and NNTP folders, too
