508980 - folder pane should use nsIMsgFolderListener instead of nsIFolderListener where possible

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Andrew Sutherland [:asuth] (he/him)]

Because the folder pane uses nsIFolderListener, it receives notifications about messages when it does not care about messages at all.  While that works for OnItemAdded/OnItemRemoved, we will probably need to keep OnItemIntPropertyChanged and I guess OnItemEvent around (although it's not immediately clear what the latter is used for).  However, we can mask down to those notifications.

Whoops.  This should not block.

I have a patch for this somewhere, and I think a bug for it...

David, I searched for such a bug, and failed. Is this already fixed?

presumably this is neither significant nor important performance-wise

This isn't fixed, the code is in the same state. There would potentially be a small impact on performance but it'd probably wouldn't be noticeable at a guess.
