221416 - Mozilla mail locks up entire Mozilla application when sorting in mail view.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[dylang]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031006
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031006

I've been trying to properly train Mozilla on what is junk, and what isn't. 
Mozilla managed to get some non-junk mixed into the spam folder, which currently
has about 16,000 messages in it.  When I click the Junk column to sort by junk
status, Mozilla goes unresponsive sucking 100% CPU time on my machine for a long
time (greater than 5 minutes).

The mail server is an IMAP system with a 100Mbps connection to my desktop.  My
desktop is an Athlon 1700+ XP with 768mb of ram.

The expected behaviour would be either a busy throbber in Mail/news and the
ability to use the rest of Mozilla (IE: web browsing), or that it wouldn't take
longer than 10 seconds.

This affects both 20030910022 and 2003100605.
