Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010527 Pref for "Compact folders when it will save over 100 kb" is not remembered When i set the above pref for my newsgroups, the checkbox is not retained upon return to the pref.

cc'ing stephen because he may be involved with fixing this.

Stephen, could you add diane sun to the CC of this bug? I don't know her email address.

Reassigning to Diane, cc'ing interested parties. Also, the actual compaction code is not written - that's bug 17204. This bug is for making sure the pref gets remembered.

This preference is actually moved to preference dialog. See bug 79554 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 79554 ***

NO, it's not a dupe. The other bug is about differentiating between compaction settings for *different accounts". This bug is about remembering the setting at all. reopening.

Changing status to New. I see this in the current branch build 2001-06-07-13-0.9.1/ on Windows nt 4.0 Hopefully bug will be fixed (ie pref will be remembered) as result of the new implementation of the pref in bug 79554.

This was due to the changes in am-offline.xul version 1.2. There are two duplicate ids with the same name for imap and nntp which caused the preference not saved. The same with "Do not download message locally that are larger than "

PDT+ per 6/12 mtg.

This preference has been moved the global pref space : Edit -> Preference ->Offline and Disk Space. And it will not be affacted by the two ids with the same name but for IMAP, POP seperately in am-offline.xul ver 1.2

I'm confused. I don't see offlineCompactFolder or offlineCompactFolderMin elements in pref-offline.xul

So, the master patch is in bug 79554 (infact includes this patch too). Get'em in. r=bhuvan

I agree..it's little bit confusing until you trace to the patch in the bug 79554. Diane, Please post patch(es) in the entirety in the future. thanks. bhuvan

in the future, if you've got a bug with the "master" patch, there is no need to re-attach the same patch to other bugs. (just indicate where the real patch lives.) I've made comments to #79554, but those comments do not apply to this part of the patch. trusting bhuvan's review, sr=sspitzer

a= asa@mozilla.org for checkin to the trunk. (on behalf of drivers)

Fix checked in.
