Details

While using the Optimized 2000020608 SeaMonkey build, I noticed that after I
entered my IMAP password, the throbber never animated while it checked mail
server capabilities, checked folders and loaded my inbox.

Isn't it supposed to animate while doing that stuff?
I think we turned this off because it was too slow. David?

No, we turned that back on a long time. Perhaps Alec's changes to not start and 
stop the meteors directly but use timers? The meteors work fine for me for 
larger folders, though not when launching the inbox (which takes longer than the 
.5 second delay Alec put in, so maybe it's something else).

Perhaps the msg window is not set in time? I guess I can look at it.
Hmm, I suspect it's alec's stuff. If I set a breakpoint, this works fine.
Perhaps it was taking less than half a second or something, though I doubt you
could enter your password in less than half a second.

there are a few network operations that happen during login, and it's possible
that the initial few are taking less than half a second....i.e. the login and
reading of headers... but the actual layout of the thread pane will never cause
the animation to throbber (Because it's stuck in layout, and the throbber
doesn't get any CPU time)

well, for imap, it's also the discovery of folders, which can take a while if 
you have a number of online folders.

I would have thought the throbber would have started before the password is 
entered, since the url has already started running at that point. But perhaps we 
haven't gotten the StartDocumentLoading call yet.
