Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Hem Ramachandran]

Under Mail & Newsgroups, if I do Search Messages, there is a potentially
problematic situation - now that there is a button to search subfolders (which
wasn't there with the old Netscape browsers). 

If I am using IMAP and not POP for my mail configuration, and I search for a
message on a folder at the server, if for some reason it cannot cannot to the
IMAP server (inablility to connect to an IMAP Server - I see this problem with
Mozilla on Win98 and not on Win2000 for some reason) the message saying that it
cannot connect to an IMAP server comes up with JUST AN OKAY BUTTON. Which means
if I click okay, it just look again, and cannot get out. 

I would like to have a cancel button on there, so that, when it hits that wall
of not going thru the IMAP server, I should be able to terminate the search, and
not do a cntrl-alt-delete to kill the Mozilla browser.

Thank you.
