Retention policy "Delete all but the most recent xx messages" deletes most recent messages.

[b3nmore]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

I'm using thunderbird 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 on an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x86_64 machine as feed reader. For some feeds I would like to use the retention policy "Delete all but the most recent xx messages". Setting xx to let's say ten, causes thunderbird to delete all but ten messages in a feed folder. But the remaining messages are not the most recent ones but some in the middle of the time line.

Get the same behavior for icedove 3.0.5 on debian unstable.

Hello B3nmore,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2010 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 601897

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.
