Re: linux build (1999-04-29-08) Steps: 1. Open mail application from Task|Messenger 2. Double click to open mail folders 3. Click on the Inbox folder, no mail list is displayed. It shows 0 count under Unread and Total column. Note: Other folders like Trash, Drafts works fine. Occurs on Linux Do Not occur on Win_nt 4.0

This would be a M5 stopper. cc: sspitzer.

We found out the cause of this. Fenella will be updating the bug.

We now isolated the bug. The bug only happens when we remove all the msf files before we launch the apprunner application.

Basically, the bug occurs the very first time .msf files get generated. The unread counts for all the folders show 0 and when you select a folder, the message list for that folder does not display. You have to exit and restart apprunner/Messenger and then the folder list will show with proper message counts and message lists. Updating summary

This is occurring because we have paths that look like mailbox://u/scottip/nsmail//Inbox instead of mailbox://u/scottip/nsmail/Inbox. This is due to a conflict between how we add '/' in nsLocalURI2Path and nsLocalMailFolder::AddSubFolder. Reassigning to alecf who is going to fix this as part of a fix for another bug.

This wasn't marked as M5, but should be. I'm not sure if this got fixed with the subfolder fix.

oh, fixed this bug because of the fix to some other bugs.

verified this in the 1999_05_03_08 Linux build. Deleted all my .msf files prior to verifying this bug. After double-clicking on the "nsmail-2" folder, all of my local folders displayed and the unread count increased (somewhat slowly). I was able to display the message list in my Inbox and select a message.
