274071 - "Delete Mail Marked as Junk" should not preview messages in Junk folder

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Joshua Nixon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041206 Thunderbird/1.0

When viewing Junk folder: Choosing "Delete Mail Marked as Junk in folder"
Thuderbird automatically shows the first (last?) message in the list in the
message pane. As the folder is empty after delete no message should show. As
junk mail often includes viruses and scripting messages should not be opened
(most users have probably disabled javascript but not all people will...). Might
be an IMAP bug, have not tested this with POP3.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Junk filter to dump spam into Junk IMAP folder
2. Choose "Delete Mail Marked as Junk in Folder" from message menu

Actual Results:  
All mail in folder is deleted, but one of the junk messages is opened in the
message pane automatically, even though folder is empty and no message was selected.

Expected Results:  
Deleted all messages in junk folder and left the message pane unchanged as no
messages exist and none were selected.

sorry: "tools" menu, not "messages" menu in steps to reproduce.

This is Seamonkey bug 200138 -- I suspect that it's actually a Core:Mail Backend 
bug, as I believe this navigation is handled below the front end code; so this 
should probably be duped over.

Altho your bug, and that one, both refer to IMAP, I've seen the same symptom on 
POP3.

realized that this bug doesn't always occur and figured out why. near as i can
tell if the message pane is currently empty junk message is previewed - if
message pane is already displaying something then junk is not previewed.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
