[mailviews]  biff causes mailview to rebuild

I created a view "junk" that only shows me junk mail.
I viewed my junk messages
I deleted all the real junk messages, and used the junk status icon in the
thread pane so that I was left with:

1) in junk view mode with 10 mesages that weren't junk.
2) biff goes off
3) the thread pane goes blank, as if I had re-selected the junk view (and
searched again)

it went blank because none of the messages were junk, and I was in a junk view.

Seth, can this be dup'd of 180203 or is this a separate issue going on here?

Is it just biff going off w/out getting new msgs/refreshing the thread pane?

See comment #1 in bug 180203:
We should update the thread pane on refresh though. So, the user clicks "Gets 
Msgs" or changes folders, anything that causes a refresh, msgs that need to be 
added or removed from the current view should happen. 

Question: if biff is triggered at intervals based on prefs, does that count as a 
refresh? I'd say if the msgs are automatically downloaded, via pref (pop) or 
auto (imap) that counts as Refresh. But just the indicator that new msgs are 
avail but not pulled (pop), doesn't count as Refresh.

no, I don't think the view should have been updated - that's odd.

This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago.

Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED.

If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.
