97572 - mail inbox folder empty

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 95584

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

When starting mail, the Inbox of my second mail account is empty.
This happened in combination with the treshold message to save space. (dont
remember the exact message)
I accepted to purge. When ready, my mail inbox of my second acccount was empty
(not just the list, but the inbox file had 0 bytes)

Problem appeared now 2 times....but is not reproducible everytime.
I strongly suspect that it happened in combination with another action (because
the purge normally terminates ok), for ex: while the mailsystem is purging (but
not yet ready)...click on the inbox in question...it tries to load the folder
which is stil in purge mode...probably cannot access and therefore creates a new
Inbox folder with 0 bytes??!! 



Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
I strongly suspect that it happened in combination with another action (because
the purge normally terminates ok), for ex: while the mailsystem is purging (but
not yet ready)...click on the inbox in question...it tries to load the folder
which is stil in purge mode...probably cannot access and therefore creates a new
Inbox folder with 0 bytes??!!

In order to reproduce set purge level to a low value

Actual Results:  Inbox 0 bytes all mails lost!!

Expected Results:  my normal inbox WITH its content
