I have a high trafic mail folder for my company, it is IMAP. The inbox gets
about 200 messages a day and a message takes on average 1 minute to answer. A
lot of messages are pretty standard and I have created a mail folder with
standard replies to the most asked questions.
When I start the daily routine of answering the messages I start with the oldest
message first. I select it and read it. Than when it is a standard question I go
to the standard replies folder and copy the text from the standard message. Than
I go back to the inbox. Thunderbird has the wonderfull setting "Remember the
last selected message" which gets me back to the message I want to reply to.
This is exactly what I want.
However when a new email has arrived thunderbird does not select the last
selected message but instead shows the newly arrived message and does not select
anything. This is very annoying because than I have to scroll back to the
messages I wanted to reply to, since at any moment there can be 200+ emails in
the inbox this takes time.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.turn on "Remember the last selected message" in the options
2.click on the inbox of an IMAP folder, select a message
3.click on some other folder under the Inbox
4.send yourself a new email to the IMAP email address
5.click on the inbox
Actual Results:
The last selected message isn't selected anymore. No message is selected, the
message list jumps to the newly arrived message.
Expected Results:
I want the last selected message to still be selected like I tell thunderbird
when I choose the option "Remember the last selected message" I don't care that
new email arrived and I don't want it jumping the view to that new email, it
should just do what it does when no new email arrived.

>No message is selected, the message list jumps to the newly arrived message.
Truely annoying. also happens in the suite.
Is this an effect of bug 186504? (preceeded by bug 10872)
