13094 - [PP] Mailnews Move menu doesn't show up on Mac

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Chris, it was suggested that you might be the person to handle this bug, if not,
please reassign.

In my function that handles the onLoad event for the mailnews 3pane, I try to
access the mailnews move menu by using getElementById.  It always returns null.
What's interesting is that it's not this menuitem that causes the problem.  The
first time getElementById is called it fails.  So, after getting the move menu
fails, I try getting the copy menu and it succeeds.  If I switch the order of
these calls to getElementbyId, then copy fails and move works.  Or, if I do two
calls in a row to getElementybyId for the move menu, the first one fails but the
second one succeeds.  It looks like there might be some timing issue.  This only
happens on the Mac.  It works fine on Windows and Linux.

Is this really mac specific? If so, please fix the platform info...

Adding myself to CC

I'm seeing something odd on linux - it takes two or three tries to get the extra
level of menus beyond the server.
I thought maybe it had something to do with crossing datasources (because when
you cross from servers to folders, you cross from the account datasource to the
folder datasource) but if I create subfolders, I see the same thing.

Here's the kicker: I'm seeing similar behavior when using <template>s to create
<select> elements from the folders. The problem seems to be something to do with
containment

alec - the two/three times opening the menu is probably bug

is this still happening? I can see the "Move" menu and its contents ok on the
mac, but it looks like this may be a code-level problem?

On the MacOS Commercial build 1999-11-02-08-m11 build, the Move menu does show
up on the Mac.  It is available under IMAP and POP.  I created separate profiles
and was successful in moving a message.

as long as both the move and copy menus are there we can mark this fixed or
worksforme.  I don't have a mac build yet to verify this.

The copy menu was present on yesterday build too.  Mark it worksforme?

The mailnews move menu shows up and I can move/copy message to any folder.
