User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030619 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1a 920030616) If you have a mix of pop and imap accounts and you set up a fiulter on a pop account to transfer incoming mail to a folder on an imap account it fails with the error "The message could not be filtered to folder 'xxxx' because another operation is in progress. Note - if you run the filter manually using the run now button from the filters dialog box it works correctly. I suspect that the pop download grabs a lock and the filters run before the lock is released. I guess that you want to complete the pop download and release the lock before starting to run the enabled filter on the downloaded messages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up a pop and imap account 2. set up a mail filter on pop account filtering mails with test in supbject line to a folder on the imap account 3. send your pop accouint a mail called test Actual Results: I get the message listed in details Expected Results: Message should be filtered correctly.

This might be a dupe of bug 168648, but I'm not sure, since the target here is an IMAP (remote) folder.

To bad this has never been addressed yet. Reproduced it on Mozilla 1.7 and Thunderbird 0.7.1 Hope this gets fixed.

Argh. Bug 66391 has morphed from: "Mail is lost when filtering to an IMAP folder" (bug 180094), to: "Pop3 msg filters shouldn't allow move to imap folder" (disallow this option in the UI), to: "Mail filters should allow moving mail from local folders and POP inboxes to imap folders" which is being described as "an enhancement" altho the bug is still rated "major." THIS bug, as it stands, is about the fact that the UI allows it, but it doesn't work. However, if I manually run the filter on the POP folder, the message gets moved as expected (with no dataloss in my limited testing). Getting these bugs properly resolved is better left to a developer who knows what's what.

confirming based on a user asking on IRC for help with for the same reason...

also, I needed to move the source files around in the cvs repository, from imap/src to base/util - I kept the name as nsImapMoveCoalescer since it's main use is for coalescing imap moves...

I have tested the 2004-11-20-06-trunk nightly build and the bug is still there, although it looks diferently. The filter directed to an IMAP folder is silently skipped, with even no notice to the filter log. (I also included another filter to a non-IMAP folder and trhat one worked fine on teh same mail receiving).

hm, somehow this was moved into the wrong product/component (prolly weirdness due to the bugzilla restructure). anyhow, I had tested with 2004112207-0.9 tbird bits on WinXP, and this now works with incoming mail, as well as when I click "Run Now" from the Message Filters dialog. however, this doesn't seem to work when I select Tools > Run Filters on Folders from the main menu. (doesn't matter if focus is on the folder in the folder pane, or in the thread pane.) is there another bug for that, though?

I don't know if there is a bug on the run filters on Folders aspect - but if not, it should be a separate bug since the code is separate...
