179929 - get mail button disabled after closing and reopening the mailnews window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 111102

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Robert Hinn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827

I start Mozilla and open the MailNews window, enter my master password, fetch
mails, etc. Then I close the MailNews window, and when I open it again (CTRL+2
for example), then the "Get Msg" button is disabled, so I cannot check for new
mail (it is even disabled when there _is_ new mail on the server, don't think it
checks, though).

Workaround: I have to select another mail folder or account to enable the button
again.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open mozilla
2.open MailNews (CTRL+2)
3.get mail
4.close MailNews window
5.reopen MailNews window (CTRL+2 or from the menu)

Actual Results:  
The "Get Msg" button is enabled before closing the MailNews window, and disabled
after closing and reopening it.


Expected Results:  
When opening / reopening the MailNews window, the "Get Msg" button should always
be enabled. (I don't have any newsgroups subscribed right now, so I can't say if
it should always be enabled there, too.)


Using german localization (de-AT) and the Orbit 3+1 theme version 1.x 0.0.6.2.

I just found out that when reopening the MailNews window, the problem seems to
be that the Account/Folders-List doesn't get the input focus. I don't have to
select a _different_ folder, I just have to click into the Account/Folders-List
(the left one of the three splitter panes...). Once I click into it, the "Get
Message" button is enabled.
I guess it is disabled otherwise, because when the Account/Folders-List doesn't
have the input focus, then no account is selected from which to fetch mails...

So: Expected Behaviour: give the Account/Folders-List the input focus when
reopening the MailNews window (like is done when opening the window the first
time...)

Should be fixed in latest nightly build.
Reopen if you disagree.
