Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 34073

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Phillip A Remaker]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    20020530006

When running the "compact folder" function against a large mailbox with a large
number of deleted, or against a slow IMAP server, the function can take a number
of seconds to complete.  While the compacting is going on, there is no visual
inication of activity (animated icon, etc) so it is not clear if the command was
accepted  or if any activity is taking place.

For example, in my case, removing block of 500 messages from a 1000 message
mailbox took 4.527 seconds on my server for example.

Animation while the compact function is running would be nice.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a large mailbox of 1000 messages
2. Delete 500
3. Compact the folder
4. Note the lack of animated icon during the compact process

Actual Results:  No animation

Expected Results:  Animation
