if you have the inbox highlighted then the email list pane goes blank and after
the last mail has been received and after 5 secs you can see the full list with
the new emails on top.

That has been noticed on several machines running Win200,XP and Linux Suse 8.2
Pro and Mandrake 9.0

email list pane goes blank. (Even when several accounts are being updated with
new emails (that happens on each inbox)

is being received.
