The nature of the bug seems to have changed slight in tbird 2.0.0.18. Now I find that instead of random old messages being unavailable, every message older than a certain date becomes unavailable when offline. As before, when I look in my thunderbird profile with a text editor (or another mail reader such as alpine), I can see that the message has been downloaded, but thunderbird claims it can't find it. I'm pretty sure this is not the same bug as #223241
I don't know what additional information I can give on recreating it. I simply use thunderbird to access my gmail 'All Mail' folder. This is a very large folder (2 GB), which I think is important - I don't see this problem with small folders. I have it marked for offline use. When I go offline (after downloading the folder) thunderbird claims that many old messages have not been downloaded for offline use, though they clearly have. thanks for looking into this, Cormac. 2008/12/5 John Vivirito <[email protected]>: > Is this still a problem in tbird 2.0.0.18.
