I find this defect maddening, it causes me to lose my place in thousands of messages, dozens of times every day. The correct behavior is NOT to select the first message, that was just a defect in Nova on some platforms. The selection should be persisted in the folder, as is done in Outlook Express. The user put the selection there, and the program has no business changing it to something else, especially when it would mark some message read in the process. This makes multiple folder support almost worthless, IMO. If I weren't getting paid to use the product, this bug alone would be enough to make me toss it in the trash. Removing future target for re-triage, please consider fixing it for MachV.
