Throbber activity also prevents LDAP lookups in the Mail compose window from
progressing.  Closing the mail window allows LDAP lookups to work.

reporter,
Can you try this with a latest build. I was not able to reproduce this problem 
using 2002-01-18-06 build on Mac os x. I tried deleting from an imap account 
inbox as well as a local folder. Then next read message was loaded and the I did 
not see the throbber activity not stop.

I downloaded build 2002011808 for Mac OS X and it appears to have fixed the
problem.  I played with it for a while and found no cases where the throbber
kept running.  It's much prettier also.....however, there appears to be a
problem in updating the new Aqua style scroll bar widget.  Does not update
properly when dragging it.

Thanks for your help and hard work!
