(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[LeVA]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.5rc1/

While I receiving mails, they arrives in my inbox, and 'another folder'. Let's
say I have a lot of email (or just a slow connection :), and it takes a lot time
to receive all of those mails. My Inbox folder is active, and I can see my mails
filling that folder. I clock to that 'another folder' to see what kind of emails
filling that folder. Then I want to switch back to my Inbox folder, while I am
still receiving my mails. Then I can not switch back to the Inbox folder,
instead when I click to the Inbox folder, my mouse cursor changes to an
hour-glass and I can not see my mails in the Inbox folder. When all of my emails
arrived, then I can safely switch back to my Inbox, and can read my messages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Recevie lot mail
2. Switch to another folder instead of Inbox
3. Switch back to Inbox
4. Hour-glass, can not read messages.

Actual Results:  
Can not read messages in my Inbox, until mozilla has finished downloading mail
from the server.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should allow me to read my messages while it downloads the emails.
