Comment 13 for bug 1074260

Folder repair is a local phenomenon. In other words, the folder being repaired is the *local* filesystem folder.

I can create a brand new Thunderbird profile and have this problem. It will act like it is downloading all the messages and eventually finish. Once I close Thunderbird, it starts all over on the next restart.

Additionally, a message that I just clicked on and viewed in the preview pane will be re-downloaded the next time I click on it. The little status area at the bottom says "loading message."

In TB15, when the message is downloaded it does not attempt to re-download it the next time I view it.
