276906 - Remember the Last Selected Folder (on restart)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Alistair George]

Settings/Remember The Last Selected Message surely means that when you close TB,
it should restart with the last mailbox open and message highlighted, which in
my case it doesnt.

It doesn't select the last selected box on startup, but it should remember the 
last selected message (in every folder) when you select that folder.

Also expected 'remember last selected message' to work this way.  Upon restart
it should start on the last message the user was on.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

The fix for bug 498106 has landed, bringing tab persistence with it.  As part of tab persistence, the last selected folder for the tab (even the first tab) will be re-selected instead of letting the default logic fire.
