Create a subfolder in your pop or local mail accounts. Copy a couple of messages into that new folder (due to another bug that I have a fix for, you need to have more than one). Try deleting one of those messages. The message won't be deleted (It actually gets copied to the trash, but the message doesn't get marked for deleting so it will still be in the original folder even if you restart). This is due to the fact that the function nsMailboxGetURI in nsMailboxUrl is not doing the correct thing for subfolders. It takes a path and is supposed to return the uri, but for subfolders it doesn't remove any of the .sbd's from the path and therefore it returns the wrong uri. cc'ing alec in case he has any quick solutions. Otherwise I will right some code that removes the .sbd's.
marking beta1. It seems like this could be common for pop users.
Keywords: beta1
I have a fix. I will send out a patch for a code review later this morning.
I agree, this should go in for beta... a quick fix sounds good to me (yet another reason we need to consolidate our URI handling after beta :))
