Using build 2000-05-25, if user has multiple POP accounts they will have multiple Unsent Message folders, but only one works with the Send Unsent Messages menu item (the one under Local Folders). There are two ways users can have multiples of these folders, through migrating a POP account and with the creation of each pop account we create one.
Changing from critical to major, my mistake

to reduce (but not eliminate this problem) we should not create so many "Unsent Messages" folders. worst case scenarios: 1) a pop user in 4.x migrates with messages in their unsent messages folder. when the user hit "send usent", those old messages would not get sent. 2) a user manually puts messages into the wrong unsent messages folders, and they don't get sent. not a beta stopper. marking m20.

nominating this for the next release. This bug has been there for a while in many of our releases. I see that many pop users who are migrating their account are having problems with multiple unsent message folder. See comments in bug 104443, and bug 100857.

I am using Build 2003050714 and I have the same problem. Furthermore, in Edit / Properties... / Copies & Folders, the combo after the "Sent" Folder on: radio button stays empty, and the radio button always reverts to the "Other" value. I have 4 different mail accounts on 3 different ISPs, and I don't think this problem is only migration-related.

many bugs duped to this one receive the error message (among other messages) Unable to save your message are Bug 253370 and Bug 301859 caused by this bug? is bug 155439 comment 10 a work around? [unfortunately this component, profile migration, has no owner or QA - but perhaps someone will pick up the ball]

->WONTFIX since 4.x migration has been dropped on trunk. Though if someone puts together a safe 1.8 branch only patch, why not...
