User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131206152142

Steps to reproduce:

Following was done tying to repair problem of bug 958815:
- IMAP accounts folders are enabled for offline reading; for each *.msf file
  there is a Mbox file in the profile.
- Set TB to offline and close.
- Delete panacea.dat.
- Restart TB to check folder collapsing state.
- Collapse and expand some folders.
- Restart TB again to check folder collapsing state.
--> All IMAP folders except Inbox are disapeared.
    All Mbox files in root folder of IMAP account were deleted, but not in subfolders.
    INBOX.msf was renamed to INBOX-1.msf and new tiny INBOX.msf was created.
    Other *.msf files in root folder of IMAP account remained unchanged.
- Set TB to online and close immediately.
- Delete panacea.dat + INBOX.msf and rename INBOX-1.msf to INBOX.msf.
- Restart TB again.

*** Hopefully I did not miss any step. ***


Actual results:

--> Mbox files in IMAP root folder are still missing.
- Click on big mail in Inbox message list to load mail body.
--> Progress bar indicates download of mail, mail body is displayed after some sec.
    INBOX Mbox file is still missing.
- Click on big mail in subfolder message list.
--> No activity in progress bar; Offline store is still functional in subfolder.
- From elsewhere send test mail to IMAP account.
--> INBOX Mbox file is created, but very small, so only new mail is held in offline store.



Expected results:

After restart of TB with missing Mbox files and deleted panacea.dat, mail bodies of purged offline Mboxes should be automatically downloaded again from server.

Ulf,
Is this still an issue for you now that Bug 418551 was fixed in version 93?

Version 93 is not available for Ubuntu, even not via PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

There is no panacea.dat anymore. So this bug seems gone.
