64012 - automatic cross-folder navigation visits first folder instead of next

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 60139

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Alec Flett]

When I hit "Next" in a folder that has no new messages, I am prompted to go to
the next folder (i.e. Advance to next unread message in ...?)

Unfortunately, the folder it always suggests is the first folder in the account
with unread messages. This is really unhelpful - if I have specifically avoided
a folder in my hierarchy because I don't want to read it, then I get prompted to
read it even though I am currently reading a folder after it.

as mentioned in yesterday's bug triage meeting, am nominating this for fix in
next release.

I second that emotion! This makes automatic cross-folder navigation useless once
you have a early-alphabetized folder with new messages.. (like "bugs")

Comment 3

this is a dup of 60139 which states that folder navigation doesn't go in the
order displayed in the folder pane.

Mark it verified/dup.
