We don't have a component for local so picking the next closest thing...pop??? On a build pulled around 7:30pm tonight, I picked up a change that caused my local folders to disappear. Instead of seeing the Local Folders account in the folder pane, I get blank folder icon with no children. Many JS errors get triggered if you try to select this blank account.
Same on linux trunk 2001111921
OS: Windows 2000 → All
Here's the JS Console output when I click on the empty space: Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERRORFAILURE) [nsIMsgFolder.isServer]" nsResult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) location"JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindowOverlay.js :: IsGetNewMessageEnabled :: line 1101" data: no] Source File: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindowOverlay.js
Navin, I saw this problem on my machine after I pulled today's morning build. I installed the build before I logged into my pop account I saw this dlg with an error" The folder "null" could not be found, so filter(s) associated with this folder will be disabled. Verify that the folder exists and the filters point to a valid destination. OK I clicked on the Ok button then I realised that my local folders were gone. In the thread pane I saw only a folder without name, twisty nothing. Then I checked the filters. I saw that my bugzilla filter check box was unchecked and this had moved down all the way in the list. I checked the checked box. Restarted and the still was not able to recover my local folder with the same profile I closed and opened the application with a diffrent build and everything seems fine. This is seen only from today's build. I am adding the keywords and nominating this bug since I see this problem on my machine too.

When sending an email, I get an error dialog that says that the send was successful, but there was a problem copying the file to the sent items folder. (OK or Cancel)
I get this same error. This is making todays bits pretty hard to send email from since I get prompted after every sending and none of my sent messages are getting into my sent folder. I think this should have been a smoketest blocker today but the tree is already open.

I am building now....
This was caused by Darin's check in to nsURLSParser.cpp from yesterday. If I back out his change we are back in business. Local folders are found again and messages are properly placed in the sent folder.

Here's what you need to back out to get back in business again: D:\mozilla\netwerk\base\src>cvs up -j 1.3 -j 1.2 nsURLParsers.cpp RCS file: /cvsroot/mozilla/netwerk/base/src/nsURLParsers.cpp,v retrieving revision 1.3 retrieving revision 1.2 Merging differences between 1.3 and 1.2 into nsURLParsers.cpp
Scott, backing out nsURLParsers.cpp does solve the problem.
since the tree is open, feel free to execute the backout. the smoketester must not use local mail for the sent folder (neither do i, for that matter, which is why we didn't notice :)

OK, i backed out revision 1.3 of nsURLParsers.cpp.
No longer blocks: 110998
thanks Darin. Let's mark this fixed for now to get it off the radar.
